Alana Blevins · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter a. biopsychological view

Explanation:

Biopsychology uses biology and neurology to offer explanations about behavior. While considering the processes of the mind as organic processes, he develops his theories and explanations based on the scientific method. Furthermore, it considers psychological processes from the biological system, taking the organism as a unit. Just as it understands that psychological behavior is related to biology, psychobiology also takes the evolution of conduct as an issue linked to genetics. Likewise, emotions, motivations and certain problems of the mind are studied from the neurobiological aspects that determine them in concrete and specific mental processes.
