Which of the following is a 'Positive' change?

• A. Job loss
• B. Financial strain
• C. Physical illness
• D. Positive changes

Answer: (D)

Distinguishing positive changes from negative responses to life events. The negative options describe common hardships—job loss, financial strain, and physical illness—that typically reduce functioning or well-being. The remaining option literally identifies a favorable shift, “Positive changes,” which by definition is a positive change. In many contexts, positive changes also encompass growth or improved resilience after adversity, aligning with the idea of an improvement in circumstances. That makes it the best choice.
