Answer: d) Overprotecting or rejecting a client

Step-by-step explanation: Counter-transference reaction usually happens when a therapist conveys the emotion to the therapy client .The therapist uses is/her feeling and emotion to be transferred in the client's and the client redirects the feeling towards the therapist that he had for others.

As the feeling of the therapist is involved in the therapy the occurrence of over protection or refusal can take place for a client. Other options are incorrect because therapy does not involve advise, decision empowerment or getting rid of anger through relaxation.Thus, the correct option is option(d).
