involved parenting.
authoritarian parenting.
permissive parenting.
authoritative parenting.

The correct answer is B. Authoritarian parenting.

Explanation:

In an authoritarian parenting style, parents tend to be strict and demand a lot from children as they have high expectations, also, in this type of parenting parents impose multiple restrictions, norms or rules as they expect children to obey. Additionally, in this parenting, there is no or little feedback and children are not given options or the opportunity to decide. This is shown in the case of Meredith's mother because she restricts her daughter and tells her she had to stay on the swings which shows the mother expects Meredith obeys all the time and does not give her an opportunity to decide or any alternative option as she claims she should stay "because I said so".
