Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Dr. Ng is a surgeon who uses biomedical methods (ECT and cortical lesions) to treat drug-resistant depression. Therefore, the term that best describes Dr. Ng is a biomedical therapist. The other options (psychodynamic, behavioural therapist, and clinical psychologist) do not accurately describe Dr. Ng's specialization in using biomedical interventions for treatment.
