Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Vicky's experiences with her parents led to an incongruent self-concept, as she did not feel that she met their expectations and therefore did not see herself in the same way that they saw her. Additionally, her parents' conditional affection (based on her ability to impress them) likely contributed to her insecurities and need for therapy.
