IRENE Muñoz · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Older adults are more likely to engage in emotion-focused coping, a strategy that involves managing or reducing the emotional distress associated with a situation, rather than trying to change the situation itself. This is in contrast to problem-focused coping, where the emphasis is on solving or changing the stressor. Maintenance coping, while a relevant concept, is not as commonly associated with age differences in coping strategies as clearly as emotion-focused coping is.
