Explanation / Answer
A traumatic experience often leads to post-traumatic stress. It is very difficult to overcome a traumatic experience like losing a loved one, observing the murder of a close friend, natural disasters, sexual assault and etcetera. However, it is important to 'bounce back' (resilient) and recover and return to the baseline quality of life experienced before the trauma. An individual would develop other serious mental disorders if they are unable to bounce back to the routine life before the trauma. The ability to recover and return to the baseline quality of life experienced before the trauma is known as resilience.
Thus, the correct answer is, B.
