Answer:

A) foster

Step-by-step explanation:

The main difference between these two terms is that one is timely limited, while other is permanent. An adoptive parent has a legal obligation to take care of an child as it is their biological. They answer to the law if a child commits any type of crime. On the other hand, we have a foster parent. That type of parent is the one who will take care of a child for a limited period of time. Sometimes, a child changes a few foster homes until they're officially adopted.
