I would choose D.

If you have a patient who is reluctant to share how they feel/whats hurting/any health issues then it affects the ability of the nurse to adequately care for the patient.

What do YOU think is the correct answer? Having someone else gives you the answer totally defeats the purpose of the exercise. Provide what you think is the answer along with your rationale and folks will be glad to provide constructive feedback. Just saying answer this for me shows an incredible amount of laziness.
