Answer 1

Loya, who is suffering from depression after her boyfriend left her, consults a therapist. During their sessions, she often talks to her therapist in a manner similar to how she spoke to her ex-boyfriend. This best exemplifies transference.

Answer 2

The correct answer is transference.
Loya has somehow managed to transfer her feelings and thoughts about her ex-boyfriend onto her therapist and started addressing him in a similar manner to how she used to address her former boyfriend. She is suffering from depression and it is difficult for her to forget the breakup and move on.
