Explanation:

Question 41

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by persistent, unexplainable worry and tension. Option a describes unexplainable and continual tension, which matches GAD. Option b is panic attacks (not GAD), c is specific phobia, d is obsessive - compulsive behavior, and e is post - traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms.

Major depression and bipolar disorder have a strong genetic component. Having a parent or sibling with the disorder (option c) increases the risk significantly. Adoptive parents' disorder (option b) has less impact as genetics play a role, and options a, d, e are not strong risk factors for these mood disorders.

Early signs of schizophrenia can include social withdrawal and poor peer relations. Option b (poor peer relations and solo play) is a recognized early sign. Emotional predictability (a), long attention span (c), good muscle coordination (d), and high birth weight (e) are not associated with early schizophrenia signs.

Answer:

a. unexplainable and continual tension
