The available options are:

a. Parents decide to homeschool their children due to objections to the public school curriculum.

b. A family sits down to dinner most evenings with talk radio in the background.

c. A mother runs for a local council or school board seat, partly to set an example of political participation for her children.

d. A father objects to a particularly violent video game, but his son plays it anyway at a friend's house.

Answer:

A family sits down to dinner most evenings with talk radio in the background

Step-by-step explanation:

The sitting or group eating of a family is an example of family socialization, which centers on orderliness and food etiquette. Similarly, the talk radio with its contents is an example of mass media socialization, as it centers on material cultures such as technology, music, etc, and none material cultures such as values and norms in the society at large.

Hence, a perfect example of a way in which socialization through families and socialization through mass media reinforce each other is "A family sits down to dinner most evenings with talk radio in the background."
