The correct answer is D. Persons with this condition often perceive attacks and danger in relatively innocuous situations. They are quick to respond with anger, and, because personality disorders are ego-syntonic,
individuals with personality disorders do not believe themselves to be in error.
And the individual with passive aggressive personality disorder (choice E) expresses anger indirectly (e.g.,always being late) rather than confronting directly.
