Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Paraphilias involve sexual behaviors that are socially unacceptable, such as exhibitionism, voyeurism, and pedophilia. They can cause distress to the individual experiencing them and have consequences for those around them. While some treatment options are available, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, there may not be a medical cure for them.
