Melinda Is a Woman with Advanced Diabetes Who No Longer

Melinda is a woman with advanced diabetes who no longer works or performs household tasks for her family.Her husband and children work to support the household and care for her.She won't take insulin and won't change her diet because she says she is too sick.Using Talcott Parson's role theory,we can see that Melinda is:

A) living out the sick role according to the theory.
B) living out part of the sick role,but failing to meet her obligation to comply with doctor's orders.
C) an exception to the sick role,because her condition is congenital.
D) creating psychological "sickness" in her family,as the theory predicts.
