Explanation:

To determine why people have trouble accepting robots as companions, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Spurring technological advances is a positive aspect and not a reason for reluctance to accept robots as companions.
• Option B: The statement that robots do not work in hospitals is incorrect (robots are used in hospitals), and it also doesn't relate to why people don't accept them as companions.
• Option C: Repeating simple greetings is a basic function and not a reason for resistance to robot companionship.

D. Robots do not have emotions like real people.
