Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Circumstantiality is a thought process, not a content of thought. Content of thought refers to specific ideas, beliefs, or perceptions, while thought processes refer to the way in which these ideas, beliefs, or perceptions are expressed or organized. Delusions, distortions of body image, hallucinations, and obsessions all involve specific content of thought.
