Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. Kamal is not willing to purchase a house on the 12th floor of a sea-side apartment, as she is fearful of heights. She is suffering from ___________.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. acrophobia.
Acrophobia is the fear of heights, which fits the context of Kamal being fearful of living on the 12th floor of a sea-side apartment.
The other options—heliophobia (fear of the sun), claustrophobia (fear of confined spaces), and sociophobia (fear of social situations)—do not match the specific fear described in the sentence.
