c. psychology has an interdisciplinary nature, deriving from philosophy and biology.
d. psychology has an interdisciplinary nature, deriving from criminology and sociology.
e. psychology has an interdisciplinary nature, deriving from philosophy and sociology.

Explanation:

Psychology is considered a hub science due to its interdisciplinary roots. Its foundational origins trace back to philosophy (for theoretical frameworks of mind and behavior) and biology (for understanding the physical and neural bases of behavior). The other options pair psychology with fields that are more modern, applied interdisciplinary connections rather than its core foundational disciplines.

Answer:

C. Psychology has an interdisciplinary nature, deriving from philosophy and biology.
