Which stage of change involves denial and ignorance of the problem?

  1. Pre-contemplation

  2. Contemplation

  3. Preparation

  4. Action

The correct answer is: Pre-contemplation

Pre-contemplation is the stage of change where an individual is not yet ready to acknowledge or address the problem. They may deny that there is an issue or may be unaware of the problem. Options B, C, and D involve actively recognizing and addressing the problem. Therefore, they are not the correct answer.
