A Strategic family therapist treating Mary and her family for the first time would most likely relabel Mary's behavior as stubbornness or laziness.

Option: (A)

Explanation:

A strategic family therapist would relabel Mary's behavior as stubbornness or laziness in order to make Mary understand in the first place that her behavior is deemed as bad. By making Mary realize that what she is engaged in is stubbornness and laziness, the therapist would take the initial steps to make Mary refrain herself from behaving in the similar manner anymore.
