Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

People with BDD frequently check their appearance to monitor
changes. They often groom excessively or try to hide the offending feature. They may
pick at their skin for hours each day, using their fingers, needles, pins, staple removers,
razor blades, or knives to eliminate a blemish or scar (Phillips & Taub, 1995). Men with
muscle dysmorphia may follow a rigorous diet and exercise schedule, which can physically damage the body (Phillips et al., 2010).
