Letter A is the correct answer.

There are 4 types of child rearing styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and uninvolved. Rhoda's parents have adopted this style when they make use of force and punishment or by simply threatening to withdraw attention. The authoritarian style of child rearing is characterized by high demands and little feedback (when it occurs, it's often negative), warmth and nurturance from parents. Children raised by authoritarian parents may be good at following rules but struggle with self-discipline.
