Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
According to Rogers, personal distress occurs when there is incongruence between a person's self-concept and reality. This means that when a person's perceived identity or self-image does not match their actual experiences or behaviors, they may experience feelings of anxiety, depression, or other forms of emotional distress. Negative thinking, unconscious conflicts, and lacking self-control may also contribute to personal distress, but they are not the primary cause according to Rogers.
