The best response is A because it provides evidence-based information about the potential negative impact of having a television in the child's bedroom. It also addresses the specific concerns of the parents about the child's well-being, and encourages behavior that promotes physical health. Option B provides evidence only for the benefits of educational television, and does not address the issue of whether it is appropriate to have a television in a child's bedroom. Option C gives a clear directive without providing evidence or rationale, which may not be effective with the parents. Option D puts a time limit on television usage and suggests that it is acceptable for a child to have a television, but it does not address the specific concerns or provide evidence about whether it is appropriate to have a television in a child's bedroom.
