a) antisocial personality disorder

Explanation:

A person suffering from antisocial personality disorder manipulates and exploits other people frequently. They lie easily and have no regrets for their actions and the harm caused to others because of them.

Many factors are responsible for this disorder like genetics and childhood abuse. Children with antisocial and abusive parents are more likely to develop this condition. Since Kyle is exhibiting all of the symptoms described above he most likely has antisocial personality disorder.
