Theories focusing on the role of society that children commit crimes in 【C4】______ to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status 【C5】______ as a rejection of middle-class values.

选项 A、that
B、which
C、than
D、what

答案 C

解析语法结构题。从上下句所提示的信息来看，如果选that或者which就表示less supervision在传统的家庭中common，这显然是不正确的；而选what不符合语法；从less以及后边的 common、traditional family等几个提示线索的呼应关系就可以判断出前后是比较的关系，所以最佳选项是C。
