Answer:

Coping Strategies

The problem-focused coping strategy would be:

D. Ask a coworker to help lighten the load.

Explanation:

By asking a coworker to lighten the load, the worker has practically admitted that a problem exists and needs to be solved. The other listed coping strategies merely postpone the evil day when reality will dawn. Adopting a "glass is half-full not empty" mentality and "hitting a punching bag to release the frustration" sound pretentious. They do not tackle the problem.
