    B. Jane is experiencing numbing of emotional response, which is a common symptom of PTSD

    Explanation:

    Jane is suffering from PTSD, and one of the manifestation of the disorder is a general emotional numbness that is caused by the traumatic event itself.

    Jena is trying to process all of the negative emotions that were caused by the traumatic event, but she is not being able too. Instead, she has become numb as a defense mechanism, being unable to experience negative emotions, but being unable to experience positive emotions as well.
