Which of the following options is the best COUNTEREXAMPLE to the general claim that:
You should always do what your parents tell you to do.
A) Some parents are very bad, and their children shouldn't always do what those parents say. For example, suppose a pair of bank robbers told their son to drive the getaway car. He shouldn't do what his parents say in that case.
B) Children defy their parents all the time-- it's part of growing up.
C) Honoring your parents is an important part of being a mature and well-adjusted adult, even if it isn't ALWAYS true that you should do what they tell you to do.
D) Suppose you parents tell you to watch your younger brother while they run some errands. But after they are gone, you get a call from a friend that a bunch of people are meeting up for lunch. Even though your parents told you to watch you brother, you should go meet your friends for lunch.
