Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Carl Rogers believed that personal growth involves the alignment and congruence between the ideal self (the person one wants to be) and the actual self (the person one currently is). In therapy, he focused on facilitating this congruence and helping clients to move towards self-actualization. The other options may be important factors in therapy and personal growth, but they are not specifically measured by Rogers in assessing a client's progress.
