C) It is optional; the student should consider if disclosure helps explain their academic journey or strengthens their application, and how they wish to advocate for themselves.. Disclosure is a personal choice. An advisor should help the student weigh the pros and cons, considering if it provides context, demonstrates resilience, or helps secure appropriate support. It should never be mandatory or solely reactive.
