A self-image is constructed by the ________ person built on a realistic appraisal of their own abilities,potentials,and weaknesses.

A) normal.
B) neurotic.
C) detached.
D) average.

A self-image is ideally constructed by a normal person who has a realistic understanding of their abilities, potentials, and weaknesses. This means they have a balanced perception of themselves, acknowledging both their strengths and limitations without being overly critical or defensive. Someone who is neurotic may have an exaggerated or distorted self-image due to anxiety or insecurity, while someone who is detached may not have a clear sense of self at all. Average is not an appropriate choice as it does not address the necessary components of a correctly constructed self-image.
