Which of the following is an example of empathy?

Empathy involves understanding and sharing the feelings of another person. When a statement reflects empathy, it acknowledges the emotional state and experience of the individual being addressed. The choice "You must be feeling overwhelmed right now" does exactly this; it recognizes the likely emotional experience of the person, validating their feelings and creating a connection based on understanding.

In contrast, the other options do not demonstrate the same level of emotional insight. Phrases that suggest trying one’s best or imply that a task sounds easy may downplay the individual’s experience rather than acknowledge it. Inquiries about considering other options can be practical, but they do not directly address the emotional state of the person. Thus, the choice that exemplifies empathy is the one that specifically articulates an understanding of how the individual may be feeling, which is clearly shown in the correct answer.
