The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can answer the following.

Alfred suffers from an extreme and irrational fear of spiders. His fear is exaggerated and disproportionate to the actual danger he might be in if he did encounter a spider. Alfred's fear of spiders is so intense that he would go to almost any length to avoid coming into contact with them. Alfred is most likely to be diagnosed with specific phobia.

When an individual presents a case of specific phobia, this means that it has an exaggerated fear for an insect, animal, situation, or object. The interesting part is that this fear is overwhelming although the object of the fear does not really represent a danger to the individual. The individual's fear is extreme to the degree that this person can behave in strange, panic, or violent ways.

GuDViN [60]
While Japanese Americans were being forced to abandon the lives they'd built on the West Coast, African Americans were in the midst of the Great Migration<span> out of the South. During the war, many Black migrants set their sites on the West Coast, where labor shortages in the defense industry brought new employment opportunities.
