Reviewing the question, we need to identify the four attachment styles described by researchers as per Smith et al. (2015).
Option A: 'A. Secure, alert, reactive, slow.' This set of labels does not correspond to standard attachment classifications in the literature; 'secure' is a real style, but the terms 'alert,' 'reactive,' and 'slow' are not recognized as the canonical four.
Option B: 'B. Secure, dismissing, preoccupied, fearful.' This matches the widely cited four-category framework used in many textbooks, where secure, dismissing (avoidant), preoccupied (anxious), and fearful (often labeled fearful-avoidant) describe distinct attachment patterns.
Option C: 'C. Low, high, moderate and warm.' These descriptors are not used to categorize adult attachment styles in the scholarly framework; they appear unrelated to the established four-category model.
Option D: 'D. Peripheral, central, heuristic, systematic.' This set of terms sounds more like a mix of cognitive processing descriptors and network terminology rather than attachment classifications, and it does not align with the four established attachment styles.
In summary, only Option B aligns with the recognized four-category attachment model described in Smith et al. (2015), while the other options misuse or mislabel terms that do not correspond to the standard classifications.
