One sign of abnormality is when a person engages in behavior that creates a great deal of emotional distress or __________.

A) subjective discomfort
B) social deviance
C) statistical rarity
D) situational anxiety

Subjective discomfort is when the person themselves experiences distress or discomfort as a result of their behavior. This is one of the criteria for abnormality as it suggests that the behavior is negatively impacting the person's psychological well-being. Choices B, C, and D are not necessarily indicative of abnormality on their own, as social deviance (behavior that goes against social norms) and statistical rarity (behavior that is infrequent in a population) may not necessarily be harmful or distressing to the individual. Situational anxiety (anxiety experienced in specific situations) may be a symptom of a disorder but is not necessarily indicative of abnormality on its own.
