Question

Melat Solomon · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The fact that William cannot remember a traumatic event in which he was directly involved suggests a dissociative disorder, specifically dissociative amnesia. This type of disorder involves the inability to recall important personal information, often due to a traumatic event, even though there is no physical injury or medical condition that would explain the amnesia.
