Why each option

Biometrics are classified into two main categories - physiological traits (physical body characteristics) and behavioral traits (action-based patterns).

APsychological

Psychological is not a recognized standard category of biometrics - the two accepted technical classifications are physiological and behavioral.

BBiological

Biological is not the standard technical term for body-based biometric traits - the correct classification term is physiological.

CPhysiologicalCorrect

Physiological biometrics refer to static physical body characteristics used for identification, such as fingerprints, iris patterns, facial geometry, and hand geometry - these are inherent traits unique to an individual's body.

DBehavioralCorrect

Behavioral biometrics refer to dynamic patterns in how a person performs actions, such as typing rhythm (keystroke dynamics), gait analysis, and voice patterns - these are traits unique to an individual's behavior over time.
