Marc displays the classic symptoms of histrionic personality disorder, which is characterized by excessive attention-seeking, dramatic behavior, and exaggerated emotions. People with this disorder often have poor self-esteem and try to gain approval and attention from others to boost their self-worth, just like Marc. Additionally, their relationships tend to be shallow and superficial, lacking any true intimacy, again just like Marc. The other choices (B) dependent, (C) narcissistic, and (D) antisocial all share some features with histrionic personality disorder but do not fully capture Marc's presentation.
