Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A psychopharmacologist specializes in the study of how drugs affect mental processes and behaviors, and they may prescribe medication for mental health issues, unlike clinical psychologists who primarily provide psychotherapy and do not prescribe medication. Pharmacists dispense medications prescribed by healthcare providers but do not typically prescribe themselves. Family practice nurses provide a wide range of family health services but do not specialize in prescribing psychiatric medication without conducting psychotherapy.
