Hi!

The correct answer would be C. Affirm

Explanation:

There are 6 main forms of repair tactics:

Recognize : this is used to recognize the root/cause of the difficulty of a situationAffirm : this tactic involves focusing on the positive aspects, and disregarding the negative ones. Say, looking at the good side of a situation.Pose : this deals with putting forth or suggesting solutions to problems at handRisk : this tactic focuses on putting an effort to maintain the relationship when it feels one-sided.Integrate: this entails that application of the solutions proposed into effect.Engage : this relationship repair tactic deals with communication between the concerned people

In our case, Jamie chooses to focus on the positive aspect of her situation that her boyfriend is hardworking, and not the negative side of the solution which is that due to the workload, Jamie's boyfriend forgot to tell her. This is an example of affirmation.

Hope this helps!
