Answer: (B)

This item tests understanding that the Bridge Drawing Assessment is a projective drawing task used in art therapy to explore how a person perceives transitions and the resources they rely on to manage change. In this assessment, clients are typically asked to draw a bridge that connects two sides—often representing past and future, or safe and challenging spaces. The analysis focuses on elements of the drawing rather than a right-or-wrong answer: the strength and design of the bridge, what or who is on each side, any obstacles or dangers depicted, environmental details, and the overall mood of the image. These details are interpreted to reveal how the person perceives support, risk, control, and readiness to move through a transition, shedding light on coping styles, resilience, and emotional state. This approach is especially useful when verbal expression is limited, as the bridge becomes a symbolic conduit for internal experiences. The other options refer to different assessment tools—each with its own procedures and focus—whereas the Bridge Drawing Assessment centers specifically on drawing a bridge to glean insights about transition and resource perception.
