Research found that thinking about a current romantic partner reduces the need to defend one's worldview after a reminder of death,but only for people who are:

A) high in self-esteem.
B) low in self-esteem.
C) securely attached.
D) insecurely attached.

The research suggests that thinking about a current romantic partner reduces the need to defend one's worldview after a reminder of death, but only for people who are securely attached. This means that individuals who have a secure attachment style in their romantic relationships are more likely to find comfort and reassurance in thinking about their partner, which then reduces their need to defend their beliefs when faced with a reminder of mortality. In contrast, those who are insecurely attached may not experience the same positive effects from thinking about their partner. Self-esteem levels are not mentioned in relation to this finding.
