Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Type D personality is characterized by high levels of negative affect (i.e. high neuroticism) and social inhibition. Individuals with Type D personality tend to experience negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, and depression, and are hesitant to disclose their emotions or interact with others in social situations. Low social inhibition and low openness to experience are not typical characteristics of Type D personality. Narcissism is not a defining feature of Type D personality.
