Option A involves using "I" statements and expressing how a specific behavior or action affects the speaker's emotions. This is a more constructive and non-accusatory way of expressing one's emotions rather than placing blame on the other person. Option B involves expressing concern for safety and Option C involves making a threat, neither of which is as effective as using "I" statements to express emotions. Therefore, the best choice is A.
