Since Ethan had no difficulty in the past, he is not likely to be diagnosed with a lifelong male erectile disorder (A). Additionally, it is not clear whether his difficulty attaining an erection is temporary or chronic (B, D), so these options are less likely. Acquired male erectile disorder (C) fits the best in this scenario, as it refers to a sudden onset of difficulty with achieving and maintaining an erection.
