Your friend Mert from Ankara is organizing a charity run for the school’s animal shelter. He needs volunteers for three tasks: registrating participants (requires 3 hours), distributing water (2 hours), and cleaning up (1 hour). You promised to help, but then your cousin from Istanbul arrives on the same day for a 4-hour visit. You have only 4 hours free in total that day. What is the most responsible and respectful way to balance both commitments, considering Mert's needs and your cousin's visit?
A)Explain the situation to Mert early, offer to do the 1-hour cleanup task, and spend the remaining 3 hours with your cousin.
B)Tell Mert you can only do the 3-hour registration task, then skip your cousin's visit to avoid letting Mert down.
C)Attend the event for 30 minutes to show support, then go to your cousin's visit, leaving Mert without a clear replacement.
D)Post on the group chat that you have a family emergency, avoid both commitments, and hope no one notices.
