Final answer:

Anhedonia and withdrawal are maladaptive versions of extraversion, with anhedonia meaning an inability to feel pleasure and withdrawal signifying a desire to avoid social interaction. The term for drug craving is psychological dependence, which is distinct from the concept of maladaptation in personality traits. So the correct answer is option (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

Anhedonia and withdrawal are maladaptive forms of extraversion. Anhedonia refers to the inability to experience pleasure from activities normally found enjoyable, and withdrawal refers to the desire to avoid social contact and shrink into solitude. Both are considered maladaptive as they negatively impact an individual's life and can be symptoms of psychological disorders such as depression.

In contrast to the subject of the original question, the reference related to drug craving is psychological dependence. Psychological dependence involves a perceived need for a substance to maintain mental or emotional well-being and it strongly relates to the craving individuals experience when they have developed a habit or dependence on a substance.
