The authoritative style of parenting is characterized by high warmth and high control. This style is associated with well-adjusted, competent children who tend to have higher grades and engage in less problematic behavior compared to their peers. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer. The authoritarian style (choice A) is characterized by high control and low warmth, and is associated with more negative outcomes for children. The permissive styles (choices B and C) have low control but differ in terms of warmth, with permissive-indulgent parents being highly involved and permissive-indifferent parents being uninvolved. Both of these styles are also associated with negative outcomes for children.
