Which statement best represents the reality of parenting?
a. the way a person's parents acted never influences his or her own parenting style.
b. older parents are always better parents than younger ones.
c. parenting is often very different from what is shown in the media.
d. culture never plays a role in parenting decisions.

I would say C. Parenting is often very different from what is shown in the media.

Having an older age doesn't make you a better parent, and the way the person's parents acted will most likely influence them at least a little bit. And usually, culture does take a role in how the parents take care of their children.

I hope this is helpful! :D
