Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The HCR-20 is a tool used for assessing the risk of violence. Historical factors include previous violence, early maladjustment, relationship stability, and prior supervision failure, but not daily stress. Daily stress is considered more of a contextual or current factor rather than a historical one.
