Answer 1

The correct answer is ''Inflexible and enduring behavioral patterns that impair social functioning''

Step-by-step explanation:

Personality disorders share the ability to generate suffering and interpersonal and social difficulties with other mental disorders. A personality disorder consists of personality traits that acquire the category of disorder only if they become rigid and make adaptation difficult, if they give rise to a primary functional defect with subjective tension and, above all, if they conform an inflexible, unadaptable behavior pattern and deeply ingrained that deviates markedly from the individual's cultural patterns in no less than two of the following areas: cognitive, affective, interpersonal relationships, and impulse control.
