Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence marked as assertion is 'over compensation in one field result when a man is weak in some other filed'. Sentence A can easily be seen irrelevant to assertion as it introduces term psychology which hasn't been referenced in our assertion. But on other hand, sentence D proposes idea exactly opposite to the one proposed in C. This implies our given classification as perfectly valid. So, option (4) is correct.
