Final answer:

The characteristics of depression, social withdrawal, self-mutilation, and excessive fears are indicative of mood disorders, not autism spectrum disorder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Depression, social withdrawal, self-mutilation, and excessive fears are characteristics of c) Mood disorders. These symptoms can be found in conditions such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and others that affect a person's emotional state.

Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by impaired social interaction, communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and may include other symptoms but is not primarily associated with the characteristics described in the question.
