Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of learning to lower muscle tension one muscle group at a time is called progressive relaxation. A is incorrect because while biofeedback can be used in conjunction with progressive relaxation, it is not the process of learning to lower muscle tension. B is incorrect because systematic desensitization is used to treat anxiety disorders by gradually exposing the person to feared stimuli while they are in a relaxed state, but it does not involve progressive relaxation of muscle groups. D is incorrect because while diaphragmatic breathing can be a part of relaxation techniques, it does not involve progressive relaxation of muscle groups.
