Final answer:

Option D, family members who abuse drugs, is not a protective factor. It is, in fact, a known risk factor that can lead to increased rates of child abuse and neglect, as well as other adverse outcomes for children within the family unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which option is not a protective factor associated with family interactions.

Protective factors are conditions or attributes in individuals, families, communities, or the larger society that mitigate or eliminate risk, thereby increasing the health and well-being of children and families.

Options A, B, and C (clear rules that are consistently enforced, parental awareness of a teen’s peer group, and strong and positive family bonds) are all protective factors as they contribute to positive child outcomes and help in providing an environment that supports the child's well-being.

Option D (family members who abuse drugs) is not a protective factor but a risk factor, as research indicates that drug and alcohol use by family members can contribute to child abuse, physical abuse, and neglect.
