c. ​sarah hears voices and has minimal interest in social relationships—positive symptoms.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is D. Karen believes the FBI is after her and she cannot distinguish between their private thoughts and external reality — delusions.
A and C are incorrect because those are negative symptoms; B is incorrect because this is paranoia/delusions, and not just negative symptoms. This leaves us with D as the correct answer - Karen is being delusional because she cannot make a distinction between real life and her fantasies.
