Explanation:

The biomedical approach to therapy emphasizes the use of medical interventions like prescribing medication to address psychological issues (such as Zoey's feeling down). Psychiatrists who use this approach focus on the biological and physiological aspects of mental health, and prescribing medication aligns with this approach. The humanistic approach focuses on self - actualization and client - centered therapy, the behaviorist approach focuses on changing behavior through conditioning, and the cognitive approach focuses on changing thought patterns, none of which typically involve prescribing medication as a primary intervention.

B. biomedical
