Answer:    A. Engaging in responsive care-giving

Explanation:  Socioemotional development is a set of children's experiences, proper expression of emotions and, on that basis, developing and creating a proper and healthy relationship with the environment. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to provide the child with proper care. Proper care involves certain experiences that will allow the child to develop a healthy emotional intelligence, which means proper management and expression of emotions so that the child can adapt to the environment. These include experiences primarily from family, cultural milieu, teaching your child healthy habits, responsibility, work habits and the like.

Responsive care-giving is care that involves correctly and purposefully responding to infant's requests, which means recognising infant and toddler signs as signals of specific needs. It is therefore a responsive concern that responds positively to these signals in order to properly meet those needs. This means that when we respond positively and properly to infant and toddler signals, we build up proper habits that imply a certain tolerance for what is required, as well as tolerance for what they are about to learn, i.e new experiences. It should be emphasised that in such responsive care the infant or toddler meets his needs but in a way where he will not be spoiled, therefore with the construction of said tolerance, which is important for the said proper and healthy building of relations with the environment.
