According to the Ad Hoc Task Force on Psychopharmacology of APA, to achieve the highest level of competence in prescribing (Level 3) and practice independently as a prescribing psychologist, the psychologist must have a strong undergraduate background in biological sciences, two years of graduate training in psychopharmacology, and a postdoctoral psychopharmacology residency. Option A only mentions undergraduate coursework and a one-semester graduate course in psychopharmacology, which is not enough. Option B mentions supervised experience but doesn't mention any educational requirements. Option D mentions postdoctoral training in a psychiatric treatment setting, but it doesn't mention any required coursework or training specifically in psychopharmacology. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
