To solve this, we analyze each option based on the text:
- Option A: The text implies the parents don’t hold Nnamabia accountable. For example, the father points out clues but there’s no indication of real consequences (Nnamabia walks out and isn’t punished). This matches the idea of not holding him responsible or letting him face consequences.
- Option B: The text doesn’t show parents encouraging his behavior; instead, the narrator suspects Nnamabia’s actions, so this is incorrect.
- Option C: There’s no evidence parents push him to commit crimes by harsh punishment; the focus is on lack of accountability, not harshness.
- Option D: The text doesn’t show parents encouraging extreme behavior; it’s about not holding him responsible, not encouraging extremes.
