Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Responding as soon as possible can interrupt the speaker and does not necessarily reflect understanding or engagement with what is being said, which is contrary to the principles of active listening. Active listening involves carefully listening, understanding, and responding to what is being communicated, rather than quickly replying.
