Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Option B presents the most helpful response by providing the son with specific information about various support options available to assist with his mother's care, including home care, outpatient, and community services. This response validates the son's concerns and offers practical solutions to his worries. Option A's advice to read material is not specific to the son's concerns, and may not alleviate his worries. Option C's response does not directly address the son's concerns. Option D's suggestion to speak with the physician may be helpful, but it does not offer the same level of practical solutions that option B provides.
