Explanation:

When someone discloses suicidal thoughts, it's crucial to involve a trusted adult (like a teacher, counselor, or parent) who can provide appropriate help and support. Trying to talk him out of it, walking away, or assuming it's a joke are not safe or responsible actions in this situation.

Answer:

D. tell an adult she trusts
