question 1
choose the answer.
psychology is defined as:
○ study of the brain
○ study of behavior and mental processes
○ study of animals
○ study of biology and philosophy

Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of Psychology, we analyze each option:

• "study of the brain" is too narrow, as Psychology encompasses more than just brain study (e.g., behavior, cognition, emotion).
• "study of behavior and mental processes" aligns with the standard definition of Psychology, which examines how people think, feel, and act.
• "study of animals" is incorrect; while animal research is used in Psychology, it is not the core definition.
• "study of biology and philosophy" is incorrect, as Psychology has its own distinct focus separate from this combination.

Answer:

B. study of behavior and mental processes (assuming the options are labeled A - D in order, with this as the second option)
