Answer to Question 1

D
Countertransference, the inappropriate emotional response of a caregiver to a client, is occurring in this relationship. Environmental problems refer to items such as privacy and noise levels, resistance is a behavior of the client that demonstrates unwillingness to change or accept the need for change, and transference is the client's inappropriate feelings or behaviors directed toward the caregiver.

Answer to Question 2

C
Freud was the first person who succeeded in explaining human behavior in psychological terms and in demonstrating that behavior can be changed under the proper circumstances.
