Explanation:

Charlie witnessed a crime and has symptoms like nightmares (re - experiencing), distancing (avoidance), and guilt (negative alterations in cognition and mood). These are key symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. Obsessive - compulsive disorder involves obsessions and compulsions (not present here). Specialized phobic disorders are about excessive fear of specific objects/situations (not relevant). Alternative treatments are a general category, not a disorder diagnosis. So, the best fit is posttraumatic stress disorder.

Answer:

A. posttraumatic stress disorder
