Morse · Answer 1

Answer: B) behavioral autonomy

Explanation:

Behavioral autonomy is defined as the autonomy in which behavior is considered to make decision in independent manner. Controlling and managing action taken by own behavior is performed.

According to the question, Janet is displaying behavioral autonomy as she is taking suggestions from parents, fiends etc for the course but still she opts the best suited course as per her education goal. Her behavior of choosing course was done by her independently.

Other options are incorrect because psychological autonomy, emotional autonomy and cognitive autonomy are not displayed through Janet. Thus, the correct option is option (B).
