Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

According to psychological classifications of Intellectual Disability, individuals are categorized based on their IQ scores into different levels of severity. The "Profound Level of Intellectual Disability" refers to those who have the most significant cognitive impairments.

The recognized levels of Intellectual Disability are as follows: 

Level	IQ Range
Mild	55-70
Moderate	35-40 to 50-55
Severe	20-25 to 35-40
Profound	Below 20-25

Therefore, an IQ score that is "Below 20-25" is categorized as a Profound Level of Intellectual Disability, indicating the most significant level of intellectual and adaptive functioning limitations.

Answer 2

The profound level of intellectual disability is typically defined by an IQ score of below 20-25. Individuals at this level require extensive support for daily functioning and often have significant limitations in both cognitive and adaptive skills. These individuals may need assistance with basic activities like personal care, communication, and social interaction. The support they receive is usually long-term and tailored to help them function as independently as possible within their environment
