Todd Lloyd · Answer 1

c) illogical thinking.

Explanation:

Illogical thinking: The term illogical thinking is defined as the specific use of logical things or bugs in leading rationalization exercise.

In an illogical thinking, an individual or client is asked to demonstrate a particular behavior whether his or behavior or someone else's behavior. If the client's reasoning is intelligible and rational overall, then a small logical bug sticks together as a sore thumb.

In the question above, the cognitive theorists would say that her depression results in large part from illogical thinking.
