Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Rogers' childhood experience of living by someone else's view of the world rather than his own can be seen as an origin of his personality. This is reflected in his later emphasis on a client-centered therapy, where the therapist helps the client become more in touch with their own values and beliefs rather than imposing their own onto the client.
