A
focus primarily on verbal instruction and teaching
B

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context of the question, which is about typical differences in play behavior between fathers and mothers in developmental psychology.
Recall research findings that describe how fathers and mothers tend to interact differently with their children during play.
Note that fathers are often observed to engage more in physical, active, and rough-and-tumble play, which involves more movement and physical interaction.
Contrast this with mothers, who are more likely to focus on verbal instruction, teaching, or nurturing play styles.
Conclude that the behavior fathers are more likely to exhibit during play with their children is engaging in physical and rough-and-tumble play.
