C. Cyclical

Explanation:

Based on the Transtheoretical Model often referred to as the Stages of Change Model, developed by Prochaska and DiClemente in the late 1970s, which was developed through research studies assessing the smokers who quit on their own and those who requires external assistance or treatment to understand why some people have the capability to quit on their own.

Hence, the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) focuses on the decision-making of an individual and which explains a model of intentional change. It operates based on the fact that people hardly change behaviors quickly and decisively. Rather, change in behavior, often times, habitual behavior, occurs as continuous process known CYCLICAL process.

This model suggested that individual move through six stages of change, which are:

1. Precontemplation,

3. Preparation,

4. Action,

5. Maintenance,

6. Termination.
