Explanation:

Peter's dad has flashbacks and relives experiences after returning from a traumatic situation (Iraq). PTSD (Post - Traumatic Stress Disorder) is characterized by such symptoms like re - experiencing traumatic events through flashbacks, which matches his condition. Generalized anxiety disorder is more about excessive, persistent worry. DSM is a diagnostic manual, not a disorder. Bipolar disorder involves mood swings between mania and depression, not related to these trauma - related flashbacks.

Answer:

C. PTSD.
