Parents are considered to be antagonistic stakeholders because they are opposed to the company's policy of supporting pornography downloads to cell phones. A defensive strategy is appropriate to address their concerns and maintain a positive relationship with them. This may involve implementing parental controls or providing educational resources to help parents protect their children from inappropriate content. Avoidance strategies would only further damage the relationship with parents and could lead to negative publicity and loss of customers. Therefore, options A and B are not suitable. Option D refers to parents being problematic stakeholders, which is not entirely accurate as they are an important group with legitimate concerns.
