C
Explanation :
Dysfunctional thinking often involves negative beliefs and assumptions about oneself and the world, as well as internal dialogue and mental images. While destructive thinking and behaviors may be present, they are not always required for dysfunctional thinking. Additionally, choice A includes stimuli, which may not necessarily be a component of dysfunctional thinking.
