Question

Explanation:

The child's behavior of laughing when others smile and frowning when others are upset reflects mirroring emotional expressions. Universal emotional expression refers to innate, cross-cultural emotional displays (e.g., smiling for happiness, frowning for upset), which aligns with this behavior. Other options (self-actualization, learned helplessness, extrinsic motivation, drive reduction theory) are unrelated to emotional expression mimicry.

Answer:

B. Universal emotional expression
