Answer:

A. Empathetic

Read Explanation:

Empathy is a complex psychological concept that involves understanding and sharing the feelings of others: 

  • Definition

    Empathy is the ability to recognize, understand, and share the feelings and thoughts of another person, animal, or fictional character. 

  • Importance

    Empathy is a key component in building relationships, cooperating with others, and making moral decisions. 

  • Types

    There are three main types of empathy: 

    • Cognitive empathy: The ability to understand another person's thoughts or beliefs 

    • Emotional empathy: The ability to feel what another person feels emotionally 

    • Compassionate empathy: Doing something about another's distress 

  • Development

    While children can show some signs of empathy as early as 18 months, they usually don't fully understand that others may have different beliefs until around age four. 

  • Cultivating empathy

    Asking open-ended questions, providing nonverbal cues, and expressing interest can help you cultivate empathy with others. 

Empathy is often confused with sympathy, which is feeling sorry for someone.
