Question

Joyce Marie Ortiz · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The survey found that most children suffer intense emotional distress at the time of the divorce but that most recover within a year or two. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest that children either do not experience significant emotional distress or that they do not recover from it for a prolonged period, which does not reflect the survey's findings.
