此题考察对步骤4“Alternate Self and Function”的理解。选项A错误，特质被视为功能，意味着其可以改变，并非固定；选项C错误，特质不一定会消失，而是被看作实现目标的工具；选项D错误，NLP并非强调缺陷，而是强调功能性。选项B正确，符合原文 “Notice how you can think about these traits of yours as being functions; a way of getting a result or making your way through the world. Notice how you have a sense of self that transcends functions.” 的描述，强调特质是工具，而自我超越了工具。
