Which of the following theories stresses 'the interpersonal nature of careers and associated lifestyle'?

Correct option is A

The Trait and Factor Theory, pioneered by Frank Parsons, focuses on aligning individual traits (abilities, interests, values) with occupational factors to guide career decisions. While it primarily examines personal attributes, the theory also acknowledges how interpersonal and environmental factors influence career choices and associated lifestyles. It emphasizes understanding individual differences and finding the "best fit" between a person and their career.
