  1. One month
  2. Six months
  3. Six weeks
  4. One year
Explanation
Answer - A - One month seems to be the most appropriate for measuring decrease in hallucinations. The others seem to be a bit too long. Waiting for an entire six weeks without hallucination or delusion could be a long time coming. Instead, measurable could also be paired with the word reasonable when considering satisfactory progress.
