Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Generalized dissociative amnesia is a condition in which a person forgets their entire life, often due to traumatic experiences. Illness anxiety disorder is the excessive worry about having or acquiring a serious illness, psychomotor retardation refers to slowed movements and thoughts, and generalized anxiety disorders involve excessive and persistent worry and anxiety about multiple life events or activities. None of these conditions involve forgetting one's entire life.
