Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximizing Positive Language.

We are saying we can do something - perhaps not what the customer wants, but it is something. That's saying what you can do, not what you won't. Answer A

You are not actively listening. You are talking. Not C

You are not being assertive. You are trying to negotiate. Not A

The second choice (escalating the interaction) would be what the second response would be doing. It's almost a rude statement. Not B
