The correct answer is B. Have the patient touch a spider
Explanation
Systematic desensitization is a behavior modification technique developed by the American psychiatrist J. Wolpe that focuses on reducing the feeling of fear and phobia through the creation of incompatible simultaneous reactions, that is, to react to that stimulus of a different form to the fear. This strategy proposes that the progressive increase in the intensity of the stimulus that produces fear, coupled with the creation of incompatible responses, reduces fear.
According to this, in this treatment, an arachnophobic patient would be gradually exposed to spiders to the point the patient could touch the spider without feeling fear as this involves high exposition to the stimulus and thus is one of the last stages. So, the correct answer is B. Have the patient touch a spider
