Explanation:

This is the context: A very young child's challenging behaviour.

First of all, a challenging behaviour refers to behaviours that disrupt a child's learning and those that causes the child and family distress. So, basically challenging behaviours on childs have a negative impact. This type of behaviours are caused by the lack of social and emotional skills, those children aren't able to control their emotions and reactions.

Now, the choice which not include a consequence of not addressing a very young child's challenging behaviour is b. the behavior may allow the child to explore and learn from the world, because the lack of social and emotional skills won't help to learn more about the surroundings.

On the other hand, the rest of choices are actually consequences of challenging behaviours, the child won't be able to establish health relationships with peers, those reactions will become more frequent and it will impact the caregiving the child receives.
