The correct answer is C. Binge Eating Disorder

Explanation

Binge eating disorder is an eating disorder characterized by episodes of compulsive food intake. In this disorder, the individual ingests a large amount of food that subsequently generates a feeling of guilt. Compulsive intake is not caused by hunger but by the individual's anxiety or emotional instability. A characteristic of this disorder is that those affected do nothing to counteract excess intake (unlike bulimia in which vomiting is induced, laxatives or laxatives are ingested, or the body is taken to the limit by intense days of exercise). According to the above, the correct answer is C.
