Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The various parenting styles discussed in the text are primarily distinguished from each other according to the degree that parents exhibit warmth (emotional support) and control (behavioral regulation). These two dimensions result in four main types of parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved. Therefore, option A is the best choice, as it directly addresses the key dimensions of parenting styles. Options B and C are not correct, as they do not relate to the key dimensions of parenting styles. Option D includes terms that are related to warmth (love) and control (liking), but it is not the best choice since "liking" is not typically used in discussions of parenting styles.
