________ disorder is characterized by a lifelong pattern of irresponsible, antisocial behavior such as law-breaking, violence, and other impulsive, reckless acts.

A) Antisocial personality
B) Borderline personality
C) Bipolar
D) Psychopathic

Antisocial personality disorder is the correct choice as it matches the described pattern of behavior - lifelong irresponsibility, law-breaking, violence, and impulsivity. Borderline personality disorder also presents with impulsive behavior but is marked by unstable relationships and self-image. Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder characterized by episodes of depression and manic episodes, and psychopathy is a term used to describe traits such as lack of empathy and remorse, but it is not a clinical diagnosis.
