This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Darrel is gay and some of his co-workers are aware of this. At work, he uses communication strategies that emphasize trying to fit in and be accepted by a dominant group. He talks about his nephews when his colleagues talk about their kids, and he laughs at some homophobic jokes that he doesn't really feel are funny. Darrel is using a(n) accommodation strategy in order to assimilate.

a. assertive

b. elaborate

c. aggressive

d. non-assertive

The correct answer is letter d. non-assertive.

Explanation:

When people adopt a non-assertive strategy in communication, they are basically trying to fit in the dominant group. They tend to avoid conflicts as much as possible, even if it means they have to accept normally offensive things and situations. They end up censoring themselves, putting up some interpersonal barriers. Darrel has chosen this strategy to prevent conflicts at his workplace. His colleagues, on the other hand, do not seem at all afraid to hurt his feelings.

i think the answer is true

c. reserves power to the states and people
