Problem - focused coping involves taking direct action to solve the problem causing stress. Gary is taking steps (tutoring, extra work) to address his academic difficulties (the problem). Defensive - focused coping is more about psychological defense mechanisms. Emotion - focused coping deals with managing emotions rather than the problem itself. Internal is too vague compared to the specific coping mechanism terms.
