d

Explanation:

He already made up his mind that he disagreed so he didn’t listen

I would contend that the right answer is actually the A) Listen with empathy.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that since at some point he decided to stop listening, concluding that since he had disagreed with something that she had said the rest of the information that she had to present would not apply to him, it is possible to contend that Kevin failed to listen with empathy. Among other things, he did not listen objectively, he did not examine all the data, and he let his emotions interfered with his listening, and for all those reasons he failed to listen with empathy.
