Thirty-Year-Old Armand Feels Compelled to Save Objects That Others Might

Thirty-year-old Armand feels compelled to save objects that others might throw away.He is afraid that he will discard something he later will need,so his home is filled with old newspapers,empty boxes,worn-out clothing,antiquated computer equipment,and even the seeds from the fruits and vegetables he has eaten.Armand's neighbours have complained to the homeowners' association,because he has been forced to store some things outside his home.He is embarrassed by his need to hoard objects but is overcome by dread if he tries to throw things away.The criteria that govern decisions about abnormality are applicable in this case because

A) Armand's behaviour deviates from the norm and is distressing for him.
B) Armand's behaviour has drawn the attention of other people.
C) hoarding behaviour is normal through adolescence but should disappear by the time the person is in his early- to mid-twenties.
D) the fact that he saves seeds suggests that Armand is paranoid-he clearly believes he will have to plant his own garden and grow his own food after some type of disaster strikes.
