Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Smoking 200 cigarettes over a period of time shows that Barrett has already developed a habit of smoking and quitting at this point will be quite difficult for her. Waiting for another four or five years will only increase the difficulty of quitting. It is important for Barrett to seek support and resources to quit smoking as soon as possible.
