One component of emotional intelligence is the ability to accurately perceive and understand one's own emotions as well as the emotions of others. Predicting accurately when feelings are about to change is a key aspect of this. Options A and D are not accurate as emotional traumas are not easily forgotten, and emotional intelligence does not involve selectively focusing only on positive thoughts and feelings.
