Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by persistent, uncontrollable, "free-floating" anxiety, meaning the anxiety is not necessarily triggered by any specific situation or object.

Answer: A
 Phobic disorder is characterized by intense fear or anxiety in response to a particular situation or object, often resulting in avoidance behavior. Panic attacks may also occur in response to the phobic object or situation.

Answer: C
 Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks that often involve physical symptoms such as sweating, shaking, and heart palpitations. The individual may also worry about having another panic attack or avoid situations that may trigger a panic attack.

 Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by intrusive, persistent, and distressing obsessions (thoughts) and/or compulsions (behaviors) that the individual feels compelled to perform, often to alleviate anxiety or prevent harm. There is no disruption in motor function associated with OCD.
