Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Schizotypal personality disorder is characterized by severe social anxiety, thought disorder, paranoid ideation, derealization, transient psychosis, and often unconventional beliefs. Greg's original and idiosyncratic behavior, when exaggerated, aligns with the schizotypal personality disorder's emphasis on eccentricity and odd beliefs or behaviors.
