Why are roles of both father and mother important in Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana?

Correct answer: Family decisions and support become stronger

The direct answer is A: involving both parents strengthens family decisions and support. A girl's education, health, safety and future choices are influenced by the family environment. When both father and mother understand the value of education and share responsibility, they can plan expenses, protect study time, encourage attendance and support the girl's ambitions together. The reasoning is: decisions are often made within the family; agreement between both parents gives the girl stronger and more consistent support; shared support reduces the chance that one person carries the entire responsibility. Option A is correct because it combines decision-making and practical emotional support. Option B is wrong because the father alone is not enough; the mother's participation and the girl's own voice also matter. Option C is wrong because education and care are not only the mother's duty; assigning all work to her is itself unequal. Option D is wrong because family attitudes can strongly affect whether a girl studies, gets time, travels safely and continues school. This does not mean the family is the only influence; schools, community and government also matter. The useful cue is: daughter-friendly change needs shared family responsibility, not a single person's effort.
