A. have reduced brain activity.

D. be more active

C. have a depressed heart rate.

Explanation:

The baby isn't being played with so it will be sad all the time and become depressed.

The correct answer is "have a depressed heart rate" (option C)

Explanation:

When a parent has depression, the baby's dyad capacity to control the interaction can be compromised. The progenitor who is ill shows a hostile affect and interrupts the baby's activity. As depression is a mental disease, it is kind of obvious a parent suffering of that cannot take care of a child and are unresponsive, do not have enough affection, etc. The baby, on the other hand, cannot regulate themselves this behavior and develops inactiveness, drawing, etc. emotions.
