Answer 1

Correct components of DBT from that list:
- Behavioral therapy — Yes. DBT is grounded in behavioral principles.
- Cognitive therapy — Yes. DBT integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques.
- Both group and individual therapy — Yes. DBT uses individual therapy plus group skills training (also phone coaching and a therapist consultation team).
- Mindfulness training based on Eastern meditation — Yes. Mindfulness/acceptance practices are a core part of DBT.

Not components of DBT (from your list):
- Psychodynamic therapy — No.
- Systematic desensitization — No (not a core DBT technique).
- Exposure therapy — No (exposure is not a primary DBT component).

(Note: “DBT” itself is the therapy name, not a component.)
