Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Individuals diagnosed with Paranoid Personality Disorder exhibit pervasive distrust and suspicion of others, perceiving their intentions as malevolent. This often leads to prolonged resentment and hinders the development of intimate relationships due to persistent mistrust. Rakhi's demonstrated lack of trust in all individuals, including her inner circle, and her propensity for holding grudges are indicative of a paranoid disposition. Consequently, Paranoid is the accurate classification.
