The accurate statement regarding the relationship between Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD) is:

B) Most children who display ODD go on to later develop CD.

ODD is often seen as a precursor or a risk factor for the development of Conduct Disorder (CD) in many cases. Children diagnosed with ODD are at an increased risk of later developing Conduct Disorder. However, it's essential to note that not every child with ODD will progress to develop CD, but there's a significant association between the two disorders, and ODD is often seen as a potential precursor to the more severe Conduct Disorder.
