Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Dental hygienists focus on patient care like cleaning, educating, and building relationships, making their jobs more people - centered than dentists (who have more diagnostic/treatment - planning tasks).
• Option 2: Dental hygienists typically spend significant time with patients (e.g., during cleanings, education), so saying they spend far less time than dentists is false.
• Option 3: Dental hygienists interact with patients regularly (during appointments for cleanings, check - ups, etc.), so this is false.
