Which statement would cause polarization?

Answer
A
“I miss you.”
B
“I agree with you.”
C
“You never listen to me.”
D
“Can I talk to you?”

Explanation

“You never listen to me” uses an absolute accusation that can make the other person defensive and push both people into opposing positions. That kind of conflict can create polarization. “Can I talk to you?” instead invites a conversation, and “I miss you” expresses a feeling.
