Answer to Question 1

C
Studies have examined the usefulness of hypnosis in the relief of pain disorders. Hypnosis has been found to be effective in relieving the pain associated with reproductive health and in the management of migraine.

Answer to Question 2

C
The child's obsessive thoughts that the mother would be in an accident creates anxiety for the child. The repetitive behavior of counting, which is the compulsion, reduces the anxiety caused by obsessive thoughts.
