Question

Explanation:

To determine the indication of an abusive relationship, we analyze each option:

• "Laney sleeps several hours during the day" could have other causes (e.g., health issues) and not necessarily abuse.
• "Laney has a best friend who calls her" is a normal social interaction, not an abuse indicator.
• "Laney has been exercising several times a week" is a positive behavior, not related to abuse.
• "Laney’s best friend is increasingly worried about her safety" implies the friend suspects danger, a common sign of an abusive relationship (as abusers may threaten or harm, causing others to fear for the victim’s safety).

Answer:

Laney’s best friend is increasingly worried about her safety
