What is the term for a person’s psychological preferences in intimate relationships?

Emotional intelligence
Sexual orientation
Attachment style
Gender identity

The correct answer is: Attachment style

The term for a person's psychological preferences in intimate relationships is called attachment style. This refers to the way individuals form and maintain emotional bonds with others, and can vary from person to person. While emotional intelligence does involve the ability to understand and manage one's own and others' emotions, it is not specifically related to intimate relationships. Sexual orientation refers to a person's sexual and romantic attractions, while gender identity refers to a person's sense of self and personal identification with a particular gender. These concepts are related to relationships in different ways, but they do not encompass a person's overall psychological preferences in intimate relationships. Therefore, option C is the most accurate term for this concept.
