Option C is the worst because it imposes the coach’s agenda ("not finished until..."), undermining client autonomy (Competency 8.3) and partnership (Competency 2.2). It violates Ethics Section 2.2 (avoiding bias) and contradicts the ICF Definition of Coaching, which prioritizes client-driven outcomes over rigid structures.
Option A (best, see Question 13) invites collaboration. Option B lacks depth but respects the client. Option D shifts focus prematurely. C most severely disrupts the coaching dynamic.
