Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Children growing up in the United States are exposed to a variety of cultural norms and values, including more liberal child-rearing techniques among their peers. This exposure can create a conflict between the authoritarian parenting style traditionally practiced in many Arab/Muslim families and the more permissive styles they encounter outside the home, potentially leading to issues in adaptation and identity for the children.
