Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The focus of applied psychology is on practical problems, using psychological principles and research findings to address real-world issues and improve people's lives. While pure science research may be a component of applied psychology, it is not the primary focus. Unique qualities of people and mental processes involved in acquiring knowledge may also be relevant in applied psychology, but they are not the specific focus.
