The correct answer is disorganized type of symptoms. 

Disorganized type of schizophrenia or hebephrenia is characterized by inappropriate affect or emotional expression, and disorganized speech or behavior. Schizophrenic individuals might express emotions that are inappropriate in a particular situation (such as laughing during a funeral or getting angry when unprovoked). Additionally, they might randomly talk about topics that are unrelated to a topic of conversation or in response to questions.
