The answer is D. Increase her passion

WHY?

It is clear from Matt's advice to Ashley that one can reduce anxiety and enhance performance by engaging in cognitive restructuring, which requires changing one's ideas or attitudes about a situation.

As a result, Ashley might be able to strengthen her passion for the topic by channeling her anxiety, which might improve the impact and persuasiveness of her speech.
