Final answer:

Reflecting on feedback that’s disagreed with and seeking clarification is a productive response. This process fosters personal growth, understanding, and communication between the provider of the feedback and the recipient.

Step-by-step explanation:

When receiving feedback that I did not agree with, it is often most productive to choose option C) Reflected on the feedback and sought clarification. This approach allows for personal growth and understanding. For instance, if I received feedback that seemed unfounded or unclear, rather than disregarding it or becoming defensive, I would take some time to reflect on where the feedback might be coming from. After considering its potential validity, I would then reach out to the person who provided the feedback to discuss their perspective further. This might involve asking for specific examples to understand their point of view better or to help contextualize the feedback.
