Ans: A
One of the important factors regarding the diagnosis of psychological factors affecting medical condition is that there is no physiologic basis for these symptoms. They are often based on psychological conditions. These symptoms do not usually subside easily, clients cannot often talk about the cause of their distress, and the symptoms are always related to unconscious processes.
