Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Comas-Diaz (2014) did discuss cultural ambivalence, excessive curiosity of the helper about some aspect of the client's culture, and feelings of guilt as aspects of ethnocultural countertransferential reactions. However, awareness and acceptance of cultural differences are not discussed as a countertransferential reaction but rather as a goal or positive outcome of managing such reactions effectively.
