Social cognitive theory emphasizes that people learn by observing others, with the environment, behavior, and cognition acting as primary factors that influence development in a reciprocal manner.

A major component of the theory is observational learning: the process of learning desirable and undesirable behaviors by observing others, then reproducing learned behaviors in order to maximize rewards.

Choice A is not the answer because human behavior is not only shaped by reoccurring patterns of activity that take place in a structured environment.

Choice D, focusing on peer interaction, may provide social support and engagement, but it does not directly address their physical health needs.
