A) authoritarian parenting
B) parental monitoring
C) helicopter parenting
D) parental control

Parental monitoring has been consistently shown in research to be associated with higher academic achievement and less delinquent activity in adolescents. Authoritarian parenting and parental control may also have some positive effects, but overly controlling or strict parenting may lead to negative outcomes such as rebellious behavior or anxiety. Helicopter parenting, on the other hand, has been shown to have negative effects on academic achievement, as it can lead to a lack of independence and self-efficacy in children.
