His arguments are disrupting the discussion of the test. Of the following, the most effective response to Bud's arguing would be to:
a. tell him to come in after school and discuss any of the items for as long as he chooses to do so. Then, stop any discussion about the trickiness of the test.

c. ask Bud what was troubling him. Then try to meet his emotional needs on a personal level.
d. tell Bud that his behavior is inappropriate. Then tell him that you are going to refer him to the school counselor for evaluation.
