Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The DSM-5 replaced the diagnostic category eating disorders not otherwise specified with a new category called other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED). This category includes individuals who present with symptoms similar to anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa but do not meet the full criteria for these disorders. It also includes individuals who have symptoms of binge eating disorder but do not meet the full criteria. OSFED provides a more inclusive diagnostic category that can better capture the range of eating disorder presentations that exist. Choice A is incorrect as anorexia-bulimia nervosa is not a recognized diagnostic category. Choice B is a fictional spell from the Harry Potter series and not a relevant answer. Choice C is not a recognized diagnostic category.
