Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
In a strength-based perspective, the focus is on identifying and utilizing a family's strengths, rather than just highlighting areas of improvement. Therefore, it is not appropriate to solely focus on areas of improvement when strengths cannot be identified. Instead, the educator should continue to search for strengths and build upon them.
