Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The options A, B, and C are common ways couples might respond to infertility, such as seeking alternative ways to nurture (A), focusing on other aspects of life like work (B), or pursuing adoption (C). However, D is not universally accurate as not all couples will talk often about their infertility problems with friends and family to obtain emotional support. Some may choose to keep their struggles private due to the sensitive and personal nature of infertility.
