Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Probing questions are used to gather more detailed information and to encourage the speaker to share more. In this case, Dr. O'Neil suspects that there may be more to the story than what her subject has shared, so she would use probing questions to try to uncover any additional information or perspectives. Extra, throwaway, and essential questions are not necessarily geared towards gathering additional information in the same way.
