In a classroom intervention for a child exhibiting hostility, what type of change is being made?

1. Physical change.

2. Emotional change.

3. Behavioral change.

4. Environmental change.

The correct answer is: Environmental change.

In a classroom intervention for a child exhibiting hostility, the correct answer pertains to the type of change being made to the environment in which the child operates. This involves adjusting aspects of the classroom setting to reduce triggers of hostility and create a more supportive atmosphere. Such environmental changes could include rearranging seating, modifying the layout of the classroom, or implementing new routines that foster a sense of safety and belonging. While emotional change could be a result of these interventions as the child begins to feel more secure, and behavioral change might also occur as the child learns to respond differently due to the new environment, the primary focus of the intervention centers around the alterations made in the environment itself. This foundational shift can then pave the way for subsequent emotional and behavioral improvements.
