Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (C) and (D) only

(A) The stimuli are fully structured and well-defined. Incorrect. Projective techniques use ambiguous or unstructured stimuli.

(B) The person being assessed is aware of the purpose of the assessment. Incorrect. In projective tests, the person is usually unaware of the purpose, which helps reveal unconscious aspects.

(C) The stimuli are relatively or fully unstructured. Correct. Ambiguous stimuli are a key feature (e.g., Rorschach Inkblot Test).

(D) Scoring and interpretation are lengthy and sometimes subjective. Correct. These tests require detailed analysis and often involve subjective judgment.
