Answer 1

Answer:

b. panic Disorder (without agoraphobia).                      

Explanation:

Panic disorder: The panic disorder is distinguished as unexpected and recurring panic attacks accompanying one month of either fret about consequences of the attacks or the future attacks as well as the specific changes in behavior because of the attack.

Agoraphobia in the absence of a history related to panic disorder is defined as an anxiety disorder in which the person dealing with the disorder doesn't meet the DSM-5 criteria for panic disorder. Agoraphobia is also referred to as the primary agoraphobia. However, in a few cases, agoraphobia can occur without the presence of panic attacks.
