Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Coping behavior.

Explanation:

In psychology, coping behavior represents the actions individuals perform to deal with stressful situations typically as a result of interpersonal problems. There are three (3) coping strategies: appraisal focused, problem-focused, and emotion-focused.  

Problem-focused coping involves individuals identifying the causes of the problem, setting steps to work towards it and applying a plan to minimize the effects of the issue or solve them if possible, just like Robin did.
