Explanation:

• "having open and honest communications with her parents": Athena and her parents are honest with each other, and she doesn't want to disappoint them, so this communication can help her make a healthy choice.
• "having friends who encourage her to try just one cigarette": Encouraging to try drugs/tobacco would not help her choose to avoid them, so this is incorrect.
• "seeing her parents model healthy behavior for her and her sister": Her parents don't drink or smoke and want a healthy lifestyle for her, so their healthy modeling can influence her to avoid drugs/tobacco/alcohol.
• "seeing commercials that explain that drinking is really harmless": The passage says commercials make drinking look fun, but this option's claim that drinking is harmless is not a factor to help her avoid, as the truth is that these substances are harmful.

Answer:

• having open and honest communications with her parents
• seeing her parents model healthy behavior for her and her sister
