Explanation:

• Option A: Dissociative disorders involve disruptions in memory, identity, etc., not delusions. Delusions are more associated with psychotic disorders.
• Option B: Auditory/visual stimuli that aren't real are hallucinations, not delusions. Delusions are about beliefs, not sensory perceptions.
