Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Selecting the right time and place is the most important element of appropriate self-disclosure that Ted needs to pay special attention to if he chooses to disclose his past experience with his new boss. He should choose a time and place where he can have a private conversation with his boss and not in front of others. He should also consider the timing, such as not disclosing it during a busy workday or when the boss is already stressed or unhappy.
