Ans: A
Feedback:
Perfectionism, rigidity, controlling behavior, and extreme orderliness characterize people with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Their rigid perfectionism often results in indecisiveness, preoccupation with detail, and an insistence that others do things their way. Resisting authority and insisting that they and they alone are right are common behavioral patterns. Hoarding worthless objects, displaying stinginess, working excessively, showing stubbornness, and moralizing also occur to a high degree in people with this disorder.
