Match Column I with Column II :

Column I	Column II
i. Authoritarian parenting	a. Parents are highly involved with their children
ii. Authoritative parenting	b. Parents are very uninvolved in the child's life
iii. Indulgent parenting	c. Parents exhort the child to follow their directions
iv. Neglectful parenting	d. Parents encourage their children to be independent

Choose the most appropriate option from below :

Answer: A

The correct matching is i-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b.

Authoritarian parents are strict and demanding and expect the child to follow their directions without question (c).
Authoritative parents set clear limits but are warm, explain their reasons and encourage independence (d).
Indulgent (permissive) parents are highly involved and warm but make few demands (a).
Neglectful parents are uninvolved in the child's life (b).

The common trap is to confuse authoritarian with authoritative, which the other options do.
