(B) are considered pseudosciences

Explanation:

Pseudoscience constitute beliefs, or assumptions that are claimed to be scientific and factual but contradict the scientific method. Pseudoscience lacks the rigorous scientific steps or systematic process or can't be tested scientifically. The psychodynamic perspective of Sigmund Freud, the behaviourists perspective and the humanist perspective all fall under this category of pseudoscience as they are not fully based on scientific facts.
