They can be any color, but nowadays, we associate carrots with the color:
orange.

They can be white, purple, and a lot more colors.

Farmers used to plant different colors, but...

Quote an article why farmers now mainly plant orange carrots:

"<span><em>In the 17th century, a strain of carrot was developed that contained higher amounts of beta carotene -- the first orange carrot. Dutch carrot farmers started growing the new orange carrots in honor of William of Orange, and the traditional, more colorful carrots, were tossed aside for these newly fashionable orange carrots."
</em>
The discovery of new lands with settlers bringing their traditions spread the farming of orange carrots instead, across the world.
<em>
</em>And happily ever after, we now associate carrots with: 
<em>Orange!</em><em>

<span> This is because two genes are responsible for the accumulation of pigments in the roots of carrots. Well, there are several other different pigments as you can see: white, purple, and yellow.
However, nowadays, orange carrot is mostly available. </span>

The unlicensed assistive personnel tells the nurse that it is unreasonable to expect a response to all call lights within 10 min
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: A) "Let's discuss how we can meet our clients' needs."

Explanation:

Assertive behaviour is "Behavior that allows a person to act in his or her best interests, to stand up without undue anxiety and able to express his or her honest feeling comfortably.

This statement "A) Let's discuss how we can meet our clients' needs" is best suitable by the nurse as this statement justifies several characteristics of assertive behaviour including decision making in positive way, stay calm, honest communication, listen actively, and agree to disagree.

Other statement B, C, and D are not showing assertive behaviour as negative response ( statement "B"), panic ( statement "C"), and less problem-solving approach to conflict ( statement "D").

Hence, the correct option is A) "Let's discuss how we can meet our clients' needs."
