Its asking documentation by OT forthe response of patient.Here response is definitely a-a denial but OT should document it in such away to get reimburesement .D option is objective towards attainment of goal for this patient .
The documentation that patient is in denial state will cause the insurance denial .

I am confused. I dont understand how answer D is the patient”s response. I understand why c is incorrect but it seems as answer D is the therapist’s response and recommendation, not what the patient is communicating. ????

The question is asking for the patients response. ”Denial” is a subjective statement whereas answer D) is a statement of fact.
