Ans: D
Feedback:
Studies provide some evidence to support that disturbed patterns of interaction exist in families of girls with anorexia. In such situations, from the viewpoint of family structure, the appropriate hierarchy of parent in charge of child is reversed in the area of food and eating. The child-adolescent is eating or not eating as she desires, and parents have very little influence over these behaviors. Feeling extremely helpless, parents often make extraordinary efforts to appease the child to get her to eat.
