Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Assessment is the gathering of information about a client's background, functioning, strengths, and challenges to form a holistic view of their needs, in order to develop an effective treatment plan. It can involve formalized testing, but encompasses much more than that. It does not involve mental health diagnosis, and is not a type of treatment approach in and of itself.
