Coping strategies are methods or techniques adopted by interpreters to ensure that:

• A. Distractions
• B. All of the above
• C. External factors
• D. Intrusions

Answer: (B)

Coping strategies are techniques used to keep interpretation accurate by handling anything that can trip you up during communication. They help you stay focused, manage distractions, and deal with environmental or situational pressures that can affect your rendering. Distractions are things that pull your attention away, external factors refer to conditions in the setting like noise or lighting, and intrusions are interruptions that disrupt your flow. Each of these represents a challenge you might face, and coping strategies are meant to address them all, not just one. That’s why choosing the option that encompasses all of them is the best answer.
