Explanation:

This question refers to the article "How Resilience Works" by Diane Coutu. This article mainly deals with the meaning of resilience, its importance in many aspects of life, its origins and all that is supported by many examples of people who are considered resilient as well as by statements from psychologists, psychiatrists, philosophers and successful businessmen.

Throughout the text, the author relates resilience to other characteristics such as strong value system (which doesn't necessarily needs to be ethically right) and the ability to bravely accept and face the reality (optimistic view on the situation can lead to disaster).

These author's ideas are best supported by sentences C. and E.
