Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Although they have different viewpoints, both Wundt and James believed in the importance of systematic observation in the study of psychology. Therefore, they could agree on this common ground. Choice B is incorrect because structuralism and functionalism differed in their approach to introspection. Choice D is incorrect because stream of consciousness is a concept central to William James' functionalism but was not emphasized in Wundt's structuralism. Choice A is incorrect because it is too extreme and does not accurately reflect the possibility of finding common ground between different perspectives in psychology.
