I feel a bit confused about this. I thought all the options were about coping, but D seems to be the only one that promotes positive self-acceptance.

I practiced a question similar to this in class, and I think D is definitely the healthiest response. It shows she's taking responsibility for her healing.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like options A, B, and C reflect victim-blaming, which is a sign of unhealthy coping.

I remember discussing how important it is for survivors to recognize that the assault is not their fault. I think D shows that understanding.
