Answer: D) Active

Explanation: It is the phase where the disease is triggered, they are called outbreaks or crises, the symptoms that occur are the positive ones (hallucinations, delusions, thought disorders) and disorganization. The intervals between outbreaks, depending on the characteristics of the person, can vary between months and several years and are generally of the same duration in the same person.
