Lilian Lara · Answer 1

Answer:c. blocking

Explanation:Blocking is a crucial skill that a group therapist or counsellor will need most particularly when they have just started the group sessions because at this stage group members are likely to go against each other or fight or have conflict between one another. In blocking a therapist prevents and eliminate counterproductive behavior that may be directed to one another in words or in any other ways which may not come as words but still be provocative.
