Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Event-based tasks are triggered by specific events or cues, and the action is typically intended to be completed in response to that cue. In the scenario of feeding her cat every morning and cleaning its litter box after getting back from work, Rochelle is performing event-based tasks in response to specific events (leaving for work and coming back from work). The other scenarios do not involve specific events or cues triggering the action.
