The question asks which option is NOT an example of secondary appraisal, so we need to examine what each option represents in the appraisal process.
Option A: 'Determining if you can run fast enough away from a bear' involves assessing your own physical capability and whether you can cope with the threat by taking action. This is a consideration of coping resources, which falls under secondary appraisal.
Option B: 'Deciding who to ask for help, your mom or your partner' also concerns evaluating available support and strategies to cope with the threat, which is clearly a secondary appraisal process.
Option C: 'Deciding if the issue is something to pay attention to right now' centers on evaluating the relevance and immediacy of the threat, which is the core task of primary appraisal (assessing danger or importance of the stimulus) rather than evaluating coping resources.
Option D: 'All of the above are examples of secondary appraisal' would only be true if every listed item were secondary. Since Option C is a primary appraisal task, this statement is incorrect.
Thus, the statement that is NOT an example of secondary appraisal is Option C, because it reflects primary appraisal rather than secondary coping assessment.
