4. Step-by-step explanation:
5. When dealing with a client in the anger stage of grief from losing their pet, the tech can help by actively listening and letting the client know they understand. This shows empathy and validates the client's feelings. Becoming defensive and arguing with the client (option B) is not appropriate as it can further escalate the situation. Encouraging the client to get a new pet as soon as possible (option C) may not be helpful as the client is still grieving. Validating the client's guilt that more could have been done (option D) may reinforce negative feelings. Therefore, the best way to assist the client is to actively listen and empathize with them.
