Explanation:

First Question:

Empathy in a conversation involves understanding the other person's feelings. Option a matches this definition. Option b (giving advice) is not empathy, option c (ignoring emotions) is the opposite, and option d (focusing on self) is self - centered, not empathetic.

In communication, boundaries are set to protect one's mental health. Option a is incorrect as boundaries don't prevent emotion expression. Option b is wrong as boundaries reduce stress. Option c is incorrect as boundaries aren't about blocking others but healthy limits. Option d is correct as boundaries safeguard mental well - being.
