Explanation:

The question asks for a statement supporting the idea that parents should avoid secret teen monitoring. Option C directly reflects the counterargument against such monitoring, as the article notes some view it as a privacy invasion, which would support avoiding the practice. Other options either support monitoring (A), are unrelated to the privacy concern for avoiding it (B, D).

C. But other people say it's an invasion of privacy.
