C) Avoidance
D) Agreeableness

The attachment dimension assessing a person's desire not to be connected emotionally to relationship partners is called Avoidance. This is measured in the Adult Attachment Scale, which assesses an individual's attachment style based on their attitudes toward close relationships. Individuals high in avoidance tend to struggle with intimacy and may feel uncomfortable relying on others or being depended on in relationships. They may also be dismissive of emotional cues and prefer to keep relationships on a more superficial or distant level.
