Question

multiple choice question
children exposed to ______ are more likely to have behavioral problems, high levels of aggression, and deficits in executive functioning, particularly if also exposed to early adversity.
○ methamphetamine
○ malathion
○ alcohol
○ tobacco

Explanation:

Research shows that prenatal or early exposure to methamphetamine is linked to increased behavioral issues, aggression, and executive functioning deficits in children, with these risks amplified when combined with early adversity. Thalidomide is associated with physical birth defects, alcohol with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (which include some cognitive issues but not the specific triad emphasized here as strongly), and tobacco with growth and respiratory risks more prominently.

Answer:

O methamphetamine
