emotional, spiritual, and motivational
behavioral, therapeutic, and structural
physical, cognitive, and social
neurological, linguistic, and personality

Explanation:

Dr. Chen studies physical changes (related to physical domain) from growth hormones in puberty. Dr. Miller studies how socioeconomic status and educational resources affect school performance, which relates to cognitive (school performance) and social (socioeconomic status, access to resources involves social factors) domains. The three core domains of developmental psychology are physical, cognitive, and social. The other options don't match: emotional/spiritual/motivational, behavioral/therapeutic/structural, and neurological/linguistic/personality are not the three core domains here.

Answer:

C. physical, cognitive, and social
