D
The parents are under significant stress, and their behavior is stressing the daughter as well. The response of the parents is dysfunctional, and they are making the daughter part of this dysfunction through the process of triangulation. Defensive coping (deflecting or denying blame) is also present to a degree but is not the primary problem. There is no evidence of impaired parenting or interrupted family processes.
