Answer 1

A) has developed a social allergy

Step-by-step explanation:

Social allergy is the annoyance that is caused by the repeated action or behavior of a person. The behavior seems harmless at first but slowly but surely tends to build up the annoyance of others. The repeated action causes the buildup.
