I hope you will rate my answer positively -----

The correct option is ,d, Dialectical behavioral therapy is a an example of cognitive treatment for change in behaviour especially for those person who are self - mutilation and cause injury to themselves. This therapy can change behaviour by inducing positive behavior.

Co-dependent support groups mainly useful for person who has addictive nature , not able to take any decisions, less expressive personality, etc.
