Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Developing autonomy is when toddlers strive for independence in doing tasks. However, the observed behavior indicates distress rather than independence.

B. Resentment toward the mother is not typical of toddlers in response to separation. Toddlers at this age may feel anxious, but they do not typically express complex emotions like resentment.

C. Regression is possible in a hospitalized child, as they might revert to behaviors from earlier developmental stages, but the described behavior aligns more closely with separation anxiety.
