Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Cognitive therapy has been shown to have more long-lasting benefits than drug therapy, which may only provide short-term relief. Drug therapy also has the risk of side effects, whereas cognitive therapy does not. However, drug therapy may work in more people and may be a faster option for those who need immediate relief.
