Abuse or neglect happens when a caregiver’s actions or failures to act harm a child or put them at risk. Suffering physical harm is a clear sign of abuse because it involves actual injury caused by someone responsible for the child’s welfare. The other options describe situations that reflect proper care or neutral medical conditions: being adequately supervised shows protective care; exposure to chronic illness is a medical situation, not harm caused by caregiving; and receiving praise is a positive, supportive environment. So, physical harm directly indicates abuse.
