Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Angela's belief that her clients are "lazy" suggests that she is not fully aware of the cultural and socioeconomic factors that may contribute to their weight struggles. This lack of understanding is typical of the Cultural Pre-competence stage, where individuals recognize that cultural differences exist but may not know how to effectively respond to them. However, Angela's effort to provide larger benches shows some level of awareness and willingness to accommodate diverse clients, indicating that she is not at the earlier stages of Cultural Destructiveness, Cultural Incapacity, or Cultural Blindness.
