Answer:
(A) obsessive compulsive disorder
Explanation:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is <em>a mental illness that is characterized by the compulsion to perform certain tasks in a certain way and/or the preoccupation with certain thoughts uncontrollably.</em> The latter is the obsessive component of OCD.
The classic OCD depiction is shown in the question, with a person obsessed with cleanliness and thus have a compulsion to wash his hands after meeting strangers to ensure that he is continously clean.
Though many of us might have certain characteristics that look 'OCD-like', <u>a diagnosis can only be made when the behavior is causing distress and/or inability to function on a day-to-day basis. </u>
That statement is true. was it a t or f question?

I believe the answer is, to develop the relationship between the old man and the boy.
The excerpt basically tell us that the old man and the boy are in an abusive relationship.
