Explanation:

For Part A, the author develops her analysis by referencing experts on the negative effects of an unhealthy relationship with technology. This is shown by the quote in Part B from an expert interviewed for the author's book, which supports the idea of relying on expert - knowledge. Regarding the connection in question 5, without the full text, it's hard to say precisely, but typically, the classification of technology addictions can inform the types of treatments developed. For example, if technology addiction is seen as a behavioral addiction similar to gambling addiction, treatments may draw on those used for other behavioral addictions.

Answer:

Part A: C. She references experts who have studied the negative effects of an unhealthy relationship with technology.
Part B: A. "But 'I've been forced by data to accept that it's a problem,' he told me when I interviewed him for my book The Art of Screen Time." (Paragraph 13)
Question 5: Without full - text context, it's difficult to determine, but classification of addictions can inform treatment development.
