Explanation:

To determine the physical effect of grief, we analyze each option:

• "Talia looks sluggish and refuses to eat" involves physical appearance and eating (a physical action), so this is a physical effect.
• "Talia is more irritable" is an emotional/behavioral response, not physical.
• "Talia withdraws from family" is a social/behavioral action, not physical.

Answer:

B. Talia looks sluggish and refuses to eat meals prepared for her.
