Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The goal of fixed role therapy promoted by George Kelly is for a client to discover that new constructs work better in anticipating events than the old constructs by which the client was living. This involves helping the client to identify and modify their existing constructs that may be limiting their ability to cope with stress and adapt to new situations. The therapist encourages the client to experiment with new ways of thinking and behaving in order to develop more effective constructs. The ultimate aim is for the client to achieve a greater sense of control and confidence in dealing with life's challenges. None of the other options accurately reflect the goals of fixed role therapy.
