Final Answer :
A, C
Explanation :
Familial risk factors that correlate with child psychiatric disorders include severe marital discord, low socioeconomic status, large families and overcrowding, parental criminality, maternal psychiatric disorders, and foster-care placement. Having a parent with a substance abuse problem increases the risk of marital discord. A family history of schizophrenia presents a genetic risk. Being in a middle-income family, living in an urban community, and being an only or oldest child do not represent adversity.
