Which statement describes Type Four Self-Disclosure?

• A. Type Three. Accidental
• B. Type One. Deliberate
• C. Type Two. Unavoidable
• D. Clients' Deliberate Actions: Client initiated inquiries

Answer: (D)

Type Four Self-Disclosure happens when the client takes deliberate actions to reveal information, usually through their own inquiries or topics they bring up. This shows the client is actively participating and guiding the conversation, sharing personal details on purpose. The statement describing clients' deliberate actions—client-initiated inquiries—fits this exactly because the disclosure comes from the client, not from the counselor or from an accident or unavoidable situation. Other descriptions describe disclosures initiated by someone else or by chance, which don’t match the client-initiated, intentional nature of Type Four.
