binge eating is when someone struggles with eating a large amount of food very fast in a short amount of time. it’s considered an eating disorder because it’s a compulsion. A would be an example of bullemia and D would be an example of anorexia. C is not really considered an eating disorder so that leaves B which fits the criteria.
