Lazarus and Folkman identified three key processes for evaluating events that may be stressful: primary appraisal, secondary appraisal, and reappraisal. Primary appraisal involves considering the relevance of the situation to one's own goals and well-being. Secondary appraisal involves considering the options for dealing with the situation, and deciding what one can do if the situation is changeable or controllable. Reappraisal involves reviewing the situation and potentially adjusting one's initial appraisals if new information or events arise. Therefore, the process not mentioned by Lazarus and Folkman is D, figuring out the precipitating causes of the stressful situation.
