Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The psychological roots of abnormal behavior in a biopsychosocial model focus on aspects related to the mind and mental processes, such as an individual's vulnerability to stress. This contrasts with biological roots (like deficiencies in neurotransmitters or genetic factors) and social roots (like the social and cultural context).
