Ans: B

The authoritarian parent expects obedience from the child and discourages the child from questioning the family's rules. The authoritative or democratic parent shows some respect for the child's opinions. Permissive or laissez-faire parents have little control over the behavior of their children. Rejecting or neglecting parents are indifferent or uninvolved.
