Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Studies have shown that children who were securely attached as infants tend to have higher levels of self-esteem compared to those who were insecurely attached. They also tend to have better social and emotional development, which can lead to better cognitive and academic outcomes, but gifted cognitive development specifically is not necessarily a typical outcome of secure attachment. Difficulty learning how to share and resistance to change are not commonly associated with secure attachment.
