4. By showing empathy and helping her channel the anger appropriately.
Brief rationale: empathizing validates Massiel’s feelings, lowers emotional intensity, and lets Marco coach practical next steps (review the contract, outline options, decide on a calm client conversation or escalation). The other choices escalate, dismiss, or model poor emotional control and would likely make the situation worse.
