Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The Boston Process Approach (BPA) places a strong emphasis on qualitative data which is gathered through comprehensive interviews and observation of the examinee's behavior. While the BPA incorporates standardized measures, it does not require all examinees to take the same set of instruments. There has been some research on the BPA, but not as much as on other assessment approaches. Results from the BPA may be used in legal proceedings, but they are not widely accepted in courts of law as the approach is less standardized compared to some other neuropsychological assessment methods.
