what consequence is daniella experiencing as a result of bullying?
○ a negative self - image
○ feelings of anxiety
○ suicidal thoughts
○ decreased academic involvement

Explanation:

The problem describes Daniella experiencing physical symptoms (racing heart, sweating, trouble breathing) when arriving at school due to bullying. Anxiety often presents with such physical manifestations (like increased heart rate, sweating, respiratory issues) as a response to stressors like bullying. A negative self - image is more about how one perceives themselves, suicidal thoughts are extreme and not indicated here, and decreased academic involvement isn't shown (the focus is on physical symptoms at school arrival). So the consequence is feelings of anxiety.

Answer:

B. feelings of anxiety
