Option B. Psychological constructs represents concepts that cannot be observed or measured directly.

Explanation:

Psychological construct also known as hypothetical construct is a concept in psychology. This concept has been developed to facilitate the understanding of human behavior used in behavioral sciences.

Further explanation:

Examples for psychological constructs are conscientiousness, intelligence, political power, self-esteem, and group culture.

Now consider all options:-

Option A. as psychological constructs has been developed to address the complex concepts like intelligence, political power in humans, it is not an easy technique to be addressed.

Option B says psychological constructs represent concepts that cannot be observed or measured directly. If you examine the given examples for psychological constructs at the beginning of the explanation it should be clear that psychological constructs relate with the concepts that are non-observable & non-measureable directly. Therefore this option is correct.

Option C says Psychological constructs cannot be researched as they are unobservable. But these psychological constructs have been used in research level to measure a person’s working memory capacity, his ability to hold several pieces of information in his mind and think about all of them at the same time. Therefore option C is also incorrect.
