Hilary is very upset about a personal problem, so she talks to Chuck about it. He offers her advice about resolving the problem, but Hilary still feels upset

She then tells Fran about the situation; Fran makes Hilary feel better, but she doesn't offer advice. Who's response is more appropriate, according to research? A. Fran's response is more appropriate, since she provided empathy rather than offering a "quick fix" for the problem. B. Chuck's response is more appropriate, since he got to the heart of Hilary's problem and attempted to relieve her distress. C. Both approaches are appropriate; they are consistent with research indicating that men tend to listen to solve problems while women listen to show support for the other person. D. Both approaches are inappropriate; research documents the importance of women learning to cope with their problems independently, rather than relying on outside parties.
