Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Depersonalization/derealization disorder has been linked to abnormalities in brain functioning and altered activity in regions of the brain associated with self-referential processes and emotional regulation. This suggests a biological basis for the experience of detachment. While psychodynamic, behavioral, and cognitive factors may play a role in the development or maintenance of the disorder, research points to a biological foundation as well.
