Explanation:

To determine the cause of Willy's bullying, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Parental divorce and a new living situation (splitting time between two residences) can cause frustration, which may lead to acting out like bullying. This aligns with common psychological responses to major life changes.
• Option 2: Spending equal time with parents is a neutral or positive arrangement, not a likely cause of bullying.
• Option 3: Being flexible and adapting would not lead to bullying; it's a positive adjustment.
• Option 4: Consistent parent involvement is a positive factor, not a cause for bullying.

Answer:

A. Willy is frustrated about his new living situation
