    C. Yes, the baby will be at risk for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and language delay

    Explanation:

    According to research in psychology and pregnant women and babies, the stressful events a pregnant woman goes through, actually affect the development of her baby and these events increase the risk for some disorders in the baby.

    According to some recent studies, when the pregnant woman goes through traumatic life changes during her pregnancy and experiences high levels of stress, their babies are more likely to have behavioral disorders like ADHD and also language delays.

    In this example, Karen is pregnant and she experiences several traumatic life changes, she separates from her husband, discovers that her mom is ill and starts a stressful job, according to the studies we mentioned, her baby would be at risk for ADHD and language delay.
