There is no main verb in option B.

B. Authoritative parents who are more likely than permissive parents to have adolescent children that are self-confident, high in self-esteem, and responsibly independent.

The italicized portion modifies Authoritative parents. It is not a complete sentence. Hence option B is wrong.

OG is a banned source; it is illegal to post OG questions anywhere on the web. If you are in one of our classes, please ask OG questions during office hours or before/after class..
