Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

You are correct. Karen's behavior of repeatedly checking her reflection is indicative of an obsession. Obsessions are intrusive and unwanted thoughts, images, or impulses that cause distress to an individual. In this case, Karen's persistent thought of not remembering to get dressed is causing her distress, even though she recognizes it as unrealistic. Her action of repeatedly checking her reflection is a compulsive behavior, which is often associated with obsessions. Therefore, the correct answer is B. obsession.
