Answer:

The correct answer is - self-deprecation.

Explanation:

A self-deprecation is an act where the individual deprecates or undervalue himself. It could be a sign of low esteem or shy. In this condition, the deprecating individual is being excessively modest and is a negative psychological condition.

The client is undervaluing in her statement she undervalue and deprecating herself. Modesty and self-deprecation is not the same condition as in modesty are positive whereas self-deprecation is negative.

Thus, the correct answer is - self-deprecation.
