 People with schizophrenia often experience disorganized thinking, which can lead to a difficulty in keeping their thoughts organized and on topic. This can result in a tendency for their thoughts to jump from topic to topic.

Answer: C
 While there is evidence that neurotransmitter imbalances may play a role in the development of schizophrenia, there is less evidence that negative thoughts specifically are related to abnormal neurochemical changes in the brain.

Answer: D
 While people with schizophrenia may experience difficulty focusing their attention, they do not necessarily become overly focused on one thing to the exclusion of the real world. This is more typical of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
