lasting 13-15 can modify to relationship or parents, depending on the meaning of the sentence.

What is the source of this question.

In OA, C :
social behavior that is appropriate behavior --> quiet wordy and strange.

This can't be C- as 'and also' and 'as well' can't come together.
Also, if the comma is not there in the BOLD part, then I will go for 1 for sure

I agree with you. C must not be the answer. A is good among all 5.
