Answer
(D) touch
Spoiler
Explanation
The monkeys in Harlow’s experiment ran to the soft mother when frightened, demonstrating the importance of a mother’s touch in attachment. The soft mothers did not feed the infant monkeys or (obviously) respond more to their needs. Stranger anxiety was present in the experiment but is not an important aspect of nurturing.
