The best option is B) Aiden has an intellectual disability.

Explanation:

The other options could all explain Aiden's difficulties in coping with his studies and finishing his assignment or tasks in class. The fact that makes all the difference and directs us toward letter B is the result of Aiden's IQ test. Intellectual disability is defined by an IQ under 70 along with deficits in adaptative behaviors that affect everyday life. That is precisely Aiden's case. His IQ is 60 and he has shown deficits in learning and handling tasks.
