C Correct answer
Explanation

"Affection" is correct because the passage discusses how parents feel and behave toward their children. The context mentions differences in parental attitudes that can be problematic, and "affection" specifically means fondness or love toward someone, which is the primary emotion parents have for children. "Duties" and "work" are too transactional. "Hatred" is too extreme and doesn't fit with the family dynamics context.
