Andrés Cano Villarreal · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  A specific phobia is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by an irrational fear of a particular object or situation. This fear can be so intense that it interferes with daily life and can lead to avoidance of the feared object or situation. Agoraphobia and social phobia are also types of anxiety disorders, but they involve fear of more general situations (such as being in public places or being judged by others) rather than a specific object or situation. Interactive phobia is not a recognized term for any type of anxiety disorder.
