A) Permissive
B) Strong power assertion
C) Authoritarian
D) Authoritative

The most effective style of parenting in fostering internalization of standards and values that lead to prosocial behavior in children is authoritative parenting. This style involves setting clear expectations for behavior while also providing warmth, support, and reasoning behind rules and consequences. Children raised by authoritative parents are more likely to internalize the values and expectations of their parents and display prosocial behavior. Permissive parenting lacks clear boundaries and consequences, while strong power assertion and authoritarian parenting rely on punishment and control, which can lead to rebellious behavior or fear in children.
