Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the definition of "autonomy":

• Option 1: Autonomy is about self - determination and self - governing, so this option aligns with the concept.
• Option 2: The avoidance of doing harm to clients is the definition of "non - maleficence", not autonomy.
• Option 3: Increasing client dependency goes against the idea of autonomy which emphasizes self - sufficiency and self - determination.
