This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

The TV show Monk features a detective who is very seldom happy, has few good friends, insists on a very rigid order and way in which he must do things, and frequently had difficulty making up his mind about what to do. If he were diagnosed with a personality disorder, it would MOST likely be:

A) narcissistic

B) obsessive-compulsive

C) schizotypal

D) borderline

Answer:

The correct answer is letter B) obsessive-compulsive.

Explanation:

OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) is an anxiety disorder in which people have recurrent unwanted thoughts and feel compelled to behave in a repetitive, ritualized manner. It is different, for instance, of washing your hands whenever you feel they are dirty, or double-checking to make sure you locked the door. When people perform those same actions repeatedly, in a way that interferes with their lives, they have OCD. There are several common symptoms for OCD, some of them being exemplified by Monk's behavior in the series.
