Which of the following is most often associated with withdrawn behavior?

• A. Having only one good friend
• B. Staring at pulsating images on a computer
• C. Avoiding involvement with other students
• D. Forgetting things from one day to the next

Answer: (C)

Withdrawn behavior is all about pulling away from others and avoiding social interaction. In a classroom setting, this shows up when a student consistently stays apart from peers, does not join group activities, and avoids engaging with other students. That pattern—avoiding involvement with classmates—is what links most closely to being withdrawn.

The other options don’t fit as neatly. Having one good friend still indicates some social connection, not withdrawal. Staring at pulsating images on a computer points to a preference for a particular stimulus or a possible repetitive behavior, not a general tendency to withdraw from social contact. Forgetting things from day to day suggests memory or attention challenges, not withdrawal from peers.
