Jerry's behavior is characterized by defiance and disobedience towards authority figures, which is consistent with the symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder. His lack of close friends is also a common symptom of this disorder. The other options, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and school phobia, do not match Jerry's behavioral patterns as described in the scenario. Conduct disorder is a possibility but requires a more severe pattern of defiance and aggression, including violations of others' rights and property.
