Congratulations! Your answer was correct.
It's A. External social variables

Explanation: Treatment planning for CBT of patients with PDs should at least consider the following relevant components: individual expectations, values, and aims of the patient; current psychosocial status of the patient; individual characteristics of the patient; disorder-specific prototypical behavioral and experiential patterns; co-occurring other psychiatric disorders; co-occurring physical disorders; and external social variables. Options B, C, D, and E are important factors to consider when embarking on any form of psychiatric treatment for patients with PDs but are not specifically pertinent to cognitive-behavioral treatment planning.
