What statement accurately describes the theory of psychodynamic development?

  1. Development is mainly physical

  2. We are anything we can visualize

  3. Inner conflicts affect behavior

  4. Development is mostly influenced by genetics

The correct answer is: Inner conflicts affect behavior

The theory of psychodynamic development suggests that our internal thoughts, feelings and conflicts have an impact on our behavior. This contradicts option A, which states development is mainly physical. Options B and D are also incorrect as they do not mention the influence of our inner conflicts on behavior. B is too broad and does not accurately depict the theory of psychodynamic development, while D focuses solely on genetics as the main influence on development.
