C Correct answer
Explanation

The context mentions 'had a ___ with colleague about work and stress.' 'Discussion' is the most appropriate word for a constructive exchange about these topics. 'Argument' and 'dispute' imply conflict, which doesn't fit the thoughtful reflection that follows. 'Point' doesn't make grammatical or semantic sense.
