The three things necessary for a change in character to be believable are the following:
-It’s slow (gradual).
-It’s not linear.
-It’s complete.
A change arc in a character has to have a setup, a reaction and a counter-reaction/conclusion; these stages are gradual and end with a more round character, in a conclusive way that is satisfactory in the sense that the change was complete.
The answer is D. Intensive and emphasis kind of have the same meaning so think of it that way
