Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Irrational beliefs
Reema's feeling that she is "not wanted by anyone" is an example of irrational belief. Such beliefs are unrealistic, illogical, and not based on actual evidence. They often result from misinterpreting a situation emotionally rather than rationally. In this case, Reema may be reacting to the separation from her parents with an irrational conclusion about her self-worth and others’ feelings toward her.
