"The AP assigned to care for you is very capable and has taken care of other men." D. "Why don't you want a female AP assigned to your care?"

Option C is incorrect because it does not address the client's concerns or wishes.
Option D is incorrect because it may be perceived as confrontational and does not address the client's concerns in a respectful and professional manner.
