Answer:

The correct answer is C. delusions of persecution

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of delusion makes the person feel persecuted, stalked and spied on, as it says in the example. It is a common delusion among schizophrenic people since it is classified as a psycothic disorder, and so, people who are diagnosed with it have a hard time distinguishing between reality and their imagination. They also tend to become paranoic and experience other types of delusions and allucinations.
