Ans: D
According to the dual process model, a person adjusts to loss by oscillating between loss-orientated coping (in which there is preoccupation with the deceased person, such as thinking about the lost child) and restoration-oriented coping (in which the bereaved person is preoccupied with stressful events as a result of the death, such as financial issues, new identity as a widow, etc.). Engaging in new activities, denying the grief, and developing new relationships reflect restoration-oriented coping.
