Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Achmed, who has an anxiety disorder, is most likely to worry about driving home from work while it is snowing because anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive and persistent worry and fear. The fact that he recalls a previous negative experience reinforces his anxiety and increases his likelihood of worrying about similar situations in the future.
