I vaguely recall that the change curve is about how people react to change in general, not just negative ones. So, I guess D could be the right answer.

I think I saw a practice question similar to this, and it mentioned that the change curve can apply to both positive and negative changes. So, I might go with A.

I’m not sure if the change curve only applies to negative changes. I feel like it can apply to positive changes too, which makes me lean towards D.

I remember studying the change curve, and I think it does describe a normal reaction to change, so maybe A is correct?
