The correct choice highlights the impact of a lack of structure and guidance in a child's environment. When parents do not set limits or establish clear expectations, children may not understand acceptable behaviors or consequences. This absence of boundaries can lead to confusion about social norms and appropriate conduct, potentially fostering antisocial tendencies.

Children thrive in environments where they have a clear understanding of what is expected of them; without this framework, they may engage in behaviors that disregard social rules or respect for others. Antisocial behavior can flourish in the absence of parental guidance, as children may feel emboldened to act in ways that are disruptive or harmful, believing there are no repercussions for their actions.
