Explanation
This question relates to mental health support strategies appropriate to a subject displaying warning signs of depression. The answer options should respect the autonomy and comfort of the individual, focusing on gentle encouragement towards healthier habits and supportive interactions, and avoidance of activities that distress them. Therfore, options where 'Force' is used are inappropriate as forcing a person with depression can further increase their distress and potentially worsen their condition.
