Camryn Davis · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  While interns may feel a desire to maintain contact with clients, it is generally not appropriate to do so as it can blur professional boundaries and create ethical concerns. It is important for interns to acknowledge any unfinished business and model positive ways of dealing with closure, but it is not necessary for clients to react negatively to their departure (not resistance).
