Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Social learning theorists suggest parents should monitor and control the television programs their children watch to decrease the chances of their children imitating violent behavior they might see on TV. Option B suggests allowing children to watch violent shows, which goes against the idea of controlling exposure. Option C suggests allowing children to behave violently in controlled settings, which could actually reinforce violent behavior rather than decrease it. Option D is too extreme and impractical.
