• A. Modeling
• B. Cognitive restructuring
• C. BASIC ID
• D. Feedback

Answer: (A)

Modeling is the process of showing new ways to do something by demonstrating the desired behavior so others can imitate it. In therapy, using role-play lets the therapist act out the target behavior, providing a live model for the client to observe, imitate, and practice in a safe setting. This approach aligns with Albert Bandura's social learning theory, which emphasizes that people learn by watching others perform a behavior and then repeating it, especially when the observed outcome is positive. Through attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation, clients can acquire new skills and build confidence as they practice and see progress. Cognitive restructuring focuses on changing thoughts rather than demonstrating actions; BASIC ID is a broader framework for organizing client information rather than a demonstration method; feedback concerns evaluating performance rather than providing a live behavioral model to imitate.
