Answer:

c) A life review

Step-by-step explanation:

In psychology, the concept of life review refers to looking back on one's own life and realize what one has accomplished. By doing a life review, a person recount and reevaluate their life story and it can help them see things in a new different way and analyze their thoughts, feelings and experiences.

By doing a life review, the person analyzes his/her life in a detailed manner to look for patterns, difficulties, achievements and gave them a new meaning.

In this example, Claudia has begun keeping a detailed journal that includes stories of her childhood and early adulthood (events of her life) and plan to pass it down as part of a family history.

Since she's reviewing her own life on those pages, we can say this is an example of a life review.
