Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Jung believed in the importance of balancing reason and spirituality, but Western culture tends to prioritize materialism and empirical science over other aspects of human nature. This can result in a lack of attention to the spiritual or mystical dimensions of life, and an overemphasis on rationality and material possessions.
