Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) involves showing individuals ambiguous pictures and asking them to generate a story about what is happening in the picture. The therapist then interprets the story to gain insight into the individual's implicit motives. Therefore, choice D is the best answer as it describes the use of the TAT and the expectation that Janice's story will demonstrate her implicit motives through projection.
