Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Privileged communication is a legal concept wherein the right of disclosing the communication belongs exclusively to the client. This means that any communication shared between a client and a therapist is confidential and can only be disclosed with the client's consent, except in certain situations where the therapist is mandated by law to break confidentiality (such as reporting child abuse). Privacy is a broader concept that refers to an individual's right to control their personal information and the right to be free from intrusion or surveillance. Confidentiality is related to protecting information, but it does not necessarily involve a legal concept. Informed consent refers to a client's agreement to receive a specific treatment or intervention after being informed of the risks and benefits.
