Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The unifying theme suggests that psychology cannot be understood in isolation from the broader cultural and historical context in which it arises. There are complex interrelationships between psychological phenomena and social structures, norms, and beliefs, and understanding psychology requires examining these connections. Option A is not necessarily implied by the theme and is too narrow a focus. Option C is related to social transmission of beliefs, but does not specifically address the relationship between psychology and its context. Option D may be true, but it is not directly related to the theme of sociohistorical context.
