Answer 1

The subtype of conduct disorder that is generally associated with the best overall outcome is the **A) Authority conflict pathway**. This pathway is characterized by a pattern of stubborn behavior and defiance that often begins in early childhood. Individuals in this pathway tend to have a better prognosis compared to those in other pathways, as they are more likely to respond positively to intervention and may not progress to more severe forms of conduct disorder.
