Carmen Franco · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Career counseling in this case is considered a secondary intervention because it is being used to address the symptoms of a pre-existing condition (Judy's depression) that has been exacerbated by external stressors (her job). Primary interventions focus on preventing the development of a problem, while tertiary interventions address the long-term consequences of a problem that has already occurred.
