Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Psychologists are educated and trained to practice with a master's or PhD degree in psychology. A medical degree (A) and psychiatric residency certificate (B) are not required and focus more on the medical aspects of mental health. Psychoanalysis training certificate (D) is a specific type of training within the field of psychology but is not sufficient on its own for practice.
