Seligman's views on depression center around learned helplessness. He argues that individuals who become depressed have learned to be helpless in the face of negative events in their lives, leading to feelings of powerlessness and inability to change their circumstances. This aligns with option B, which states that depressed individuals are in a state of learned helplessness. The other options (A, C, and D) are not specifically associated with Seligman's views on depression.
