Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Neglect: Neglect is characterized by the failure to meet the basic needs of an individual, including food, shelter, clothing, and medical care.

Physical abuse: Physical abuse involves causing physical harm through actions such as hitting, slapping, or burning. There are no direct signs of physical trauma mentioned in the scenario, making physical abuse less likely.
