• A. Focus on a specific somatic subject
• B. A long-term career planning group
• C. Growth-centered groups form as an outgrowth of a previous group, focusing on common issues that may derive from an umbrella topic.
• D. A drop-in support group

Answer: (C)

Growth-centered groups are designed to extend the work of an initial group by exploring a range of related issues that emerge from a larger, umbrella topic. They use the broad theme as a launching point and focus on ongoing personal development, addressing common concerns that cut across different areas within that theme. This makes option describing focusing on issues derived from the umbrella topic the best fit because it captures the idea of broad, interconnected growth rather than a single, narrow aim.

A somatic-subject focus is too narrow for this idea, a long-term career planning group centers on career decisions rather than growth across many related areas, and a drop-in support group tends to be more general and less tied to an outgrowth from an earlier themed group.
