Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Schemas are cognitive frameworks that help us organize and interpret information, and while they can be influenced by early experiences, not all problematic schemas are directly traced back to childhood traumatic experiences. Schemas are broader in their formation and can develop and evolve due to a variety of experiences throughout life.
