Answer:

D. It minimizes the seriousness of something.

Explanation:

Euphemism is the use of indirect word or phrase to replace or substitute with the one that could be too offensive, blunt or harsh. It could be bad when it is about a serious matter as the use of indirect words may affect the seriousness of the matter. The euphemism is employed to reduce the negative impacts of excessive blunt statements but in case of serious issues, it may act as negatively that may ruin the effect or the seriousness of the situation and may imply a wrong message.
