Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Alfred Adler believed in the concept of the inferiority complex, which is a feeling of inadequacy and an inability to meet the demands of society. Hasina's difficult childhood and current homelessness and alcoholism suggest that she may feel inferior and unable to meet society's expectations, making C the correct choice. Electra complex and oral fixation are concepts from Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, and collective unconscious is a concept from Carl Jung's analytical psychology. None of these concepts are directly relevant to Hasina's situation.
