The mental processes of planning, problem-solving, and decision-making are a part of:

  1. Cognitive psychology

  2. Behavioral psychology

  3. Social psychology

  4. Dynamic psychology

Cognitive psychology focuses on the mental processes involved in planning, problem-solving, and decision-making.

Therefore, A is the correct answer.
