Which of the following is an explanation for the clinician's illusion?

Group of answer choices

a) Clinicians are used to dealing with other clinicians, and thus they assume that most people are well-balanced, resilient, and perfectly able to handle their own stressors.

b) Clinicians tend to see only those who react emotionally to stress, so they overestimate people's fragility and underestimate their resilience.

c) Clinicians realize that their "fees" are usually going to be paid for by insurance companies, and thus assume that their clients will be highly motivated to improve as rapidly as possible so that they don't "run out" of benefits.

d) Clinicians recognize that because people tend not to think clearly and objectively about their own stressors, they assume that most people are not able to deal effectively with their own stressors.
