Out of the answers, I believe that B would be the best answer that seems to make sense to me, because B is the only option that can help Lauren and change her mood. Reducing the time with her, letting other friends know does not help Lauren at all. Although D could be true, but I still think B is the right answer since when she sees her friends, she gets irritated.
