Answer: the correct answer c. the removal of the multiaxial diagnostic system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiaxial assessment is a system or method of evaluation, grounded in the biopsychosocial model of evaluation that takes into account multiple factors in mental health diagnoses, for example, multiaxial diagnosis is characterized by five axes in the current version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
