Answer 1

D. Restating

Step-by-step explanation:

Restating is the process of telling or stating a statement or remark or an idea again or differently so that the message can be heard or understood in a clear and effective manner. It is essentially a repetitive process to assure the statements made are true.

Here, the counsellor is restating what the client has told him/her about the client's experiences so that he can assure once again that it really did happen. Restating helps in breaking the statements more clearly so that the respondent can connect to what he said earlier to counsellor.
