According to Holland's typology, the realistic personality type is practical, hands-on, and enjoys working with tools, machines, and animals. While these traits may overlap with some aspects of interior design, an artistic personality type would be better suited to the creative aspects of the job. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is incorrect as a bank teller job does not align with Monica's personality. Option C is incorrect as journalism is better suited to an investigative or artistic personality type, not a realistic one. Option D is also incorrect as Monica's personality type aligns well with the hands-on and practical nature of interior design.
