Correct Answer:

Claustrophobia

Explanation:

The fear of closed spaces is called claustrophobia.

  • Phasmophobia is the fear of ghosts.
  • Ophidiophobia is the fear of snakes.
  • Toxicophobia is the fear of poisons.

Claustrophobia is a type of specific phobia, which is an irrational fear of a specific object or situation. People with claustrophobia may experience anxiety, panic, or even a full-blown phobia when they are in enclosed spaces, such as elevators, tunnels, or small rooms. They may avoid these places altogether, or they may only be able to tolerate them in certain situations.
