The correct answer is: unusual movements, behavior, and speaking.


Symptoms of catatonic type schizophrenia include:


1. Unusual behavior- moving the body strangely or speaking strangely.


2. Overactive or manic movements- such as pacing, flailing of limbs, repeatedly tapping ones fingers, etc.


3. Catatonic stupor- complete lack of movement, suddenly "freezing", becoming unresponsive to others speaking to you or activity around you
