Answer:

The correct answer is a phobia.

Explanation:

Phobia, in psychological terms, is defined as a type of anxiety disorder beacause of a persistent and excesive fear. The person that suffers from the phobia goes to great lenghts to avoid facing the object or situation that triggers this response, for example, if an individual has phobia to elevator he'll most likely take the stairs even if that means climbing a really long distance to get to the desired floor, well then, in Aria's case we can evidence this kind of behavior because of Aria's need to distract herself and even taking sedatives therefore Aria has a phobia to needles or to have her blood tested.
