I see no option choices but a phobia is defined as an extreme irrational fear. Fear is your response to what you perceive as a threat and a phobia is more of a disorder, causing great anxiety disproportionate to the cause of your fear.

A phobia is similar to a fear with one key difference: the anxiety they experience is so strong that it interferes with their quality of life and/ or their ability to function. Whereas many people fear spiders, only a small subsection of the population will meet criteria for a spider phobia. People who have a spider phobia often spend considerable time worrying about spiders, spend an inordinate amount of time ensuring they do not come in contact with a spider, and will avoid places and activities in order to avoid spiders.
Making a distinction between a fear and a phobia is useful because they are qualitatively very different problems.

Pavel [41]

I believe the answer is: B. <span>It denies enforceability to certain contracts that are not in writing

If this writing do not exist, technically we wouldn't have any ground to sue if the other party failed to fulfill the obligation.</span>
