Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The appropriate response would be to reflect back what the client has stated and acknowledge their feelings. Option B does this by acknowledging that the client was frustrated with his wife's concern about his friendship with Charles. The other options are not appropriate responses as they either suggest a solution without exploring the underlying issues or make assumptions about the client's wife.
