Hi, you haven't provided the options to the question so I will just give the answer in my own words and you can check with the options.

Answer is ELDER ABUSE.

Explanation:

Elder abuse is a single or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to an older person. This type of violence constitutes a violation of human rights and includes physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional abuse; financial and material abuse; abandonment; neglect; and serious loss of dignity and respect.

Emotional/psychological abuse: infliction of mental pain, distress or anguish through verbal or non-verbal acts. It may take verbal forms such as yelling, name-calling, ridiculing, constantly criticizing, accusations, blaming, or nonverbal forms such as ignoring, silence, shunning or withdrawing affection.

Therefore, by asking the new elders how they would like to be addressed, Maria is trying to avoid ELDER ABUSE.
