Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)

(D) Somatic Symptom Disorder — this matches (I) Overly preoccupied with body-related symptoms. People with it have persistent body-related symptoms and are overly preoccupied with their symptoms, worrying about their health and visiting doctors often.
