The best response that describes active listening is:
**a trying to understand the speaker’s feelings**
Active listening involves not just hearing the words the speaker says, but also understanding their feelings and emotions. While focusing on actual language is important, it is more about comprehending the underlying meaning and emotions. Projecting feelings onto the speaker is not a component of active listening. Therefore, the most accurate description is option **a**.
