​Although individual differences exist among anorexics, one characteristic typically found is

A) ​a denial of femininity.
B) ​a fear of motherhood.
C) ​achievement orientation.
D) ​a dislike of cooking or food.

An achievement orientation is a common characteristic found among anorexics. They often strive for perfectionism and have a strong desire to succeed in various areas of their lives, which can contribute to their restrictive eating habits. While individual differences may exist among anorexics, denying femininity or a fear of motherhood are not necessarily common traits, and disliking cooking or food may be a symptom rather than a characteristic.
