The norm of reciprocity in disclosure states that when someone discloses something personal, the other person should feel comfortable disclosing something personal as well. Sharing that she stuttered as a child and gets nervous before oral presentations is a personal disclosure that aligns with this norm. Option A is not a disclosure at all, while options B and D are personal disclosures but not related to the topic at hand.
