While Kübler-Ross's five stages (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) have been widely studied and discussed in relation to dying, not all people may progress through them in order. Additionally, individuals may cope with the process of dying in different ways, drawing on past experiences and personal beliefs to guide their response. Therefore, D is the most general and accurate description of how people cope with dying.
