Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Depression is sometimes associated with unresolved anger and may result from stress.A person with hypochondriasis is preoccupied with feelings that he will become seriously ill.In somatization,anxiety and emotional turmoil are expressed in physical symptoms,loss of physical function,pain that changes location often,and depression.Malingering is a conscious effort to avoid unpleasant situations.Hypochondriasis,somatization,and malingering are not associated with unresolved anger.
