As a member of a developmental research team you are given the responsibility of obtaining parental consent for a group of kindergarten children to participate in a research study. You want to make the process of getting parental consent as easy as possible so you prepare the informed consent and then have the kindergarten give each child the consent form with instructions to give it to their parents for them to read and sign and return it only if they do not want their child to participate in the study. This approach would involve A) active consent B) minor participatory consent C) assent consent D) passive consent
