Explanation / Answer

Histrionic personality disorder

This disorder is characterized by attention-seeking emotions in the suspected person. They are dramatic, enthusiastic, vivacious and flirtatious

Schizoid personality disorder

This is characterized by a sheltered lifestyle adopted by the individuals. They tend to be isolated.

Antisocial personality disorder

As can be concluded from the name, this disorder is characterized by a low moral sense in the suspected individuals, who often have aggressive behavior. These people are also referred to as psychopaths.      

Obsessive-compulsive disorder

This disorder to an extent being related to perfectionism and workaholism, people tend to sacrifice their own basic needs to achieve their goals, which above a certain limit turns into a disorder. They always feel that they are running out of time that they have no time to cherish both the mind and body.

So our answer resides in (c) which is Antisocial personality disorder.
