Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Kelly's Personal Construct Theory posits that individuals use personal constructs, which are essentially cognitive filters or ways of looking at the world, to make sense of their experiences. He viewed people as rational beings who actively interpret and give meaning to their world, rather than being passively shaped by external events or genetic programming.
