Answer 1

Answer: A. Psychodynamic

Explanation: According to psychodynamic theory, internal, both conscious and unconscious forces, desires, beliefs, learned behaviors, influence and shape behavior to the greatest extent.

So these are learned patterns over which people have little awareness, most often these patterns occur unconsciously.
