C ..

A. She knows thats she at risk .. But still doesnt.
B. This is a good one .. but in the question the time period is not mentioned .. plus that she is not about the Grief .. she'z Uncomfortable..
D. Another Good one .. may be the answer .. as she might bear the uncomfortness .. But giVen the analgesia option .. GUess would mark that.
E. This may just let her go .. She'll probably be happy with it .. !!!!!
