E) Psychodynamic

Answer 1

C) Humanism

Humanistic Psychology is a school of psychology that promotes the belief that all humans are inherently good and strive for self-actualization. Self-actualization is the top tier in the hierarchy of needs, which includes basic needs at the very bottom, such as physiological and safety needs (eg: having food and shelter). The basic needs need to be met first- in order for one to strive towards self-actualization.
