Ajay has a phobia of spiders. Which technique can be best suited to help him overcome his fear of spiders?

Systematic Desensitisation

The correct answer is Option (3) → Systematic Desensitisation

Systematic desensitisation is a behavioural technique used to treat phobias by gradually exposing the person to the feared object or situation while teaching relaxation techniques. In Ajay's case, he can be slowly exposed to spiders in a controlled and progressive manner—starting from imagining a spider to eventually being in the same room with one—while practicing relaxation. This helps reduce the anxiety associated with the phobia.
