Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A focusing summary helps the counselor and client to narrow down the topic of discussion and set the tone for the session. It is most commonly used at the beginning of counseling sessions. Signal and Planning summaries may also be used in counseling, but not necessarily at the start of a session.
