ANS: C
Risk factors for eating disorders are perfectionism, low self-esteem, stress, poor coping skills, sexual/physical abuse, poor self-image, dependency on others' opinions and deference to others' wishes, and being emotionally reserved. Based on these descriptors and the typical characteristics of a person who has anorexia, the good girl demonstrates the greatest risk.
