The answer is C: empathy.

Empathy is the capacity to put yourself in somebody else´s position in order to comprehend or feel what that other person is experiencing, from that person´s perspective. Empathy covers a wide range of emotional states that go from cognition, emotion, to even corporeal or somatic feelings or sensations.
