The correct answer is b. Accept Brian's apology and forgive him for having wronged them.
Explanation:
It may be difficult to forgive someone who apologizes for saying or doing something wrong. Perhaps this is because you are not sure that the apology is sincere or that you need time to evaluate and think about the explanation. Once you have decided to accept the person's apology, you can demonstrate it with words and actions. If the explanation seems genuine and sincere, it is advisable that you try to accept it and then act accordingly, practicing forgiveness.
