Answer:

A.) Amok

Step-by-step explanation:

Amok syndrome is defined by psychiatry as a sudden and spontaneous burst of intense anger, which leads the individual to attack indiscriminately other living beings (people and animals) that come his way. Finally, the individual who suffers from this syndrome commits su*c*de. It was first described in 1972 by the American psychiatrist Joseph Westermeyer. The name comes from the Malay term meng-âmok, which means "to attack and kill with blind anger".
