Respuesta :

I believe the answer is:  C. No, because she must show adaptive problems.

Adaptive problems refers to the difficulty to follow a certain standard but the causes of the failure is extremely hard to identify.
People with the IQ of 80 or lower tend to face difficulity to follow a standard, but the causes of this problem could be easily identify (the brain process is to low to follow instructions at normal speed)
