Explanation
Answer: B - When children with ADHD are referred to a clinical psychologist for possible therapy, the primary focus is on seeing what can be done to alleviate the child’s symptoms.

But the psychologist can offer behavior therapy and counseling, and the medical doctor can prescribe medication to make the condition more manageable.
