A). Relational aggression

Explanation:

Relational aggression is described as the kind of aggression in which the damage or pain is caused by maltreatment of the person's social status or relationships. 'Exclusion of an individual from a play' is a common example of relational aggression in adolescents and teenagers as here the aggression is displayed by directly attacking the social standing of the individual. This allows the person to increase their own social status and grab people's attention by isolating the other. The key reasons for such aggression are low self-esteem, peer pressure, learned behavior, or emotional consequences. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
