The mental processes of planning, problem-solving, and decision-making are a part of:

  1. Cognitive psychology

  2. Behavioral psychology

  3. Social psychology

  4. Dynamic psychology

The correct answer is: Cognitive psychology

Cognitive psychology focuses on the mental processes involved in planning, problem-solving, and decision-making. This is in contrast to behavioral psychology, which focuses on observable behavior, social psychology, which focuses on how individuals interact with others, and dynamic psychology, which focuses on the impact of childhood experiences on adult behavior. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
