i think its E cos it appears to be an generalized anxiety disorder

Futher Vallia could u plz tell us y u think that a performance anxiety would be benefited by Propanolol cause it can be used for stage fright (tremors) but this doesnt represent as such, besides he facing this only for the past 6 mnths not from before than that.
