How will taking ownership in communication most likely improve a relationship? a) by showing empathy b) by promoting honesty c) by establishing dominance d) by preventing hurt feelings

A) by showing empathy.

If we were in a relationship and were having communication issues, the best thing to do would be for me to address these issues with you. It shows that i understand why you are upset and that i'm aware we are having problem.

C would be incorrect because in a relationship you do not directly assert dominance, and D is incorrect because talking about it might hurt feelings, but talking is better then blatantly ignoring the situation.
