Answer to Question 1

Answer: c.

Answer to Question 2

Genetic factors seem to be involved to a modest extent in all the anxiety disorders, with evidence for separate risks for panic disorder versus generalized anxiety disorder. However, although there is also a genetic risk for obsessive-compulsive disorder, it appears to be part of a more generalized increased risk for several types of anxiety disorder. The overall degree of heritability for anxiety disorders appears to be in the range of 20 to 30 percent.
