Ans: C
The husband is describing hypervocalization, which involves screams, cursing, moaning, groaning, and verbal repetitiveness, which reflect aberrant motor behavior. Hypersexuality is manifested by inappropriate and socially unacceptable sexual behavior, in which the client begins talking and behaving in ways that are uncharacteristic of premorbid behavior. Disinhibition is acting on thoughts and feelings without exercising appropriate social judgment, such as removing clothes in public or walking into a room naked because the client was unable to find clothes. Apathy is the inability or unwillingness to become involved with one's environment, which leads to withdrawal from the environment and a gradual loss of empathy for others.
