Ans: A
Childhood sexual abuse, which more commonly affects girls, is one of the strongest risk factors for BPD. Various studies show that physical and sexual abuse seem to be significant risk factors for BPD (Zanarini, Laudate, Frankenburg, Reich, & Fitzmaurice, 2011). Other studies cite parental loss and separation (Steele & Siever, 2010). Parental alcohol abuse, poverty, and a history of depression have not been linked to BPD.
