c. Power vs. social justice
d. Social justice vs. competence boundaries

Answer 1

Answer: Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Social justice is refrred to as or known as the concept of just and fair relations in between an individual and the society. It is mostly measured by tacit and explicit terms for distribution of opportunities, wealth, and also social privileges.

Whereas the competence boundaries tend to include the cyber-therapy, cultural competence, i.e. if there tends to be something that is in regards with race/ethnicity, age, culture, gender, sexual orientation and religion etc. an individual needs have competence in doing so.
