A child from which of the following parenting types would be most likely to lack social skills later in life?

The correct answer is C) authoritarian.

Authoritarian parenting is characterized by high demands and low responsiveness. Parents who adopt this style may be strict and less nurturing, which can lead to children who feel less comfortable expressing themselves and interacting socially with others. This lack of emotional support and open communication can hinder the development of social skills later in life.
