Rationale:
A. Changing the subject to focus on medication compliance might ignore the client's cultural beliefs and could undermine trust. It is important to address both cultural beliefs and medical treatment.
B. Accepting that cultural beliefs can change is not as relevant as understanding and respecting the client's current beliefs while guiding them towards effective treatment.
C. Explaining that foods cannot cure mental health disorders may come across as dismissive of the client's beliefs. It is more effective to acknowledge the client's beliefs while providing appropriate guidance.
