Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Diathesis-stress model has
three components. The first is the
diathesis or the presence of some
biological aberration which may be
inherited. The second component is that
the diathesis may carry a vulnerability
to develop a psychological disorder. This
means that the person is at risk or
predisposed to develop the disorder. The
third component is the presence of
pathogenic stressors, i.e. factors/
stressors that may lead to
psychopathology.
