Answer 2

The correct answer is A. Antisocial personality disorder

An antisocial personality disorder is a type of personality disorder in which individuals often go against the norms and rules established socially, which includes violating the rights of others.

Thus, the diagnose that accounts for Kwaku's personality is an antisocial personality disorder.
