B) biological
C) cognitive
D) behavioral

The cognitive perspective focuses on mental processes such as perception, memory, and problem-solving to understand human nature. This perspective draws heavily on theories and research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and computer science to understand how the brain processes information and how individuals can process, store, and retrieve that information. This perspective does not focus on the evolutionary or biological bases of behavior, nor does it focus on observable behaviors like the behavioral perspective.
