Its D till proven other wise.

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.

The individual with dependent personality disorder (choice A) does not confront others but wants others to take care of him.

The individual with histrionic personality disorder (choice B) is flamboyant and seductive, not confrontational and angry.

The individual with narcissistic personality disorder (choice C) is characterized by feelings of entitlement because they are so "special."

And the individual with passive aggressive personality disorder (choice E) expresses anger indirectly (e.g., always being late) rather than confronting.

Some they are but in the test in UW they just give a little from another personality or disease to trow you off.

the same goes for the test you need to be 100% sure, they look easy but are tryky
