C Correct answer
Explanation

To indulge someone means to give in to their wishes or desires, often freely or excessively. In this context, the parent would give the child extra junk food beyond what might be strictly healthy. 'Pamper' captures this sense of gratifying someone's desires, while 'deny' is the opposite, and 'provide' is too neutral.
