Answer
The correct answer is - A and D
The purpose of the communication strategy for using an "I" statement is to reduce defensiveness in the other person and talk about yourself and increase your own self-esteem in the process. When using an I statement the speaker takes full responsibility for his/her feelings, words, emotions rather than attributing it to the other person, which reduces defensiveness in the other person. Using an "I" statement also increases assertiveness and assertiveness increases one's self-esteem
