autonomy refers to the ______.

1. promotion of self - determination and self - governing
2. avoidance of doing harm to clients
3. act of increasing client dependency
4. process used to lead a client to a specific decision

Explanation:

Autonomy in ethics (especially in fields like psychology, medicine which are related to Social Science sub - fields like Psychology, Medicine and Health) means respecting an individual's right to make their own decisions. Self - determination and self - governing are key aspects of this concept. Option 2 is about non - maleficence (avoiding harm), option 3 is the opposite of what autonomy promotes (as autonomy aims to reduce unnecessary dependency), and option 4 is more about manipulation rather than respecting autonomy.

Answer:

1. promotion of self - determination and self - governing
