Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Carl Rogers believed that when a child receives conditional affection from their parents, such as only being loved or praised when they behave in certain ways, they may develop an incongruent self-concept. This means that the child's self-concept does not match their actual experiences and emotions because they are constantly trying to meet the conditions set by their parents to receive love and acceptance. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, and a lack of authenticity in their relationships.
