  4. dBoth parents, in principleLes deux parents, en principeCorrect answer

Why?

After a divorce or a separation, both parents in principle keep parental authority (autorité parentale): they have the same rights and the same duties towards the child. Only a judge can decide otherwise, in the interest of the child.
