Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Psychology is based on systematic observation rather than pure reasoning or common sense. We can say, therefore, that psychology is

Select one:

a)behavioral.

b)rational.

c)empirical.

d)speculative.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter C) empirical.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "empirical" refers to anything - but mostly sciences and studies - that can be based on, related to, or verifiable by observation and experience instead rather than theory or pure logic. Psychology is an empirical science because it tests whether a theory is right or wrong by comparing the theory's data to actual data. Therefore, it does not rely on the theory itself, but on the observation and experimentation of data.
