Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model moves from the center outward in the following order: microsystems (individual's immediate environment), mesosystems (interactions between microsystems), exosystems (indirect environmental settings), and macrosystems (cultural and societal values). Therefore, the correct order is D) Microsystems, mesosystems, exosystems, macrosystems.
