Qadir visits a therapist for advice on how to reduce the stress that sometimes overwhelms him because he is wasting time stuck in traffic or waiting in line.

A. change his initial appraisal so that he thinks of the event as positive instead of stressful. B. accept that the event is stressful and focus on finding positive ways to cope with it. C. change his routes and routines so that he doesn't experience the specific stressors as often. D. accept that he has no control over the events at all and so the stressors are actually irrelevant.
