(my answer is "B psychotic behavior") am i right?

Various types of amnesia. Which answer does that indicate?

No, your answer is not correct. Korsakoff's syndrome is a neurological disorder caused by a deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1), often due to chronic alcohol misuse. It primarily affects memory and learning.

The correct answer is A) an inability to recall recent information. Individuals with Korsakoff's syndrome often experience severe memory impairments, particularly in forming new memories and recalling recent events. They may have difficulty remembering recent conversations, events, and even personal details. This is known as anterograde amnesia.

Psychotic behavior may occur in some cases, but it is not a defining characteristic of Korsakoff's syndrome. Speech difficulties and motor difficulties are also not specific to this syndrome.
