Answer:

C. He does not meet the criteria for generalized anxiety disorder in terms of length of time and number of worries.

Explanation:

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by persistent and excessive worry about a number of different things. The worries of people with GAD are often unrealistic or out of proportion for the situation. Daily life becomes a constant state of worry, fear, and dread.

So Tim didn't fall into this category at all as he has only his grades as a thing of concern for him and also 3 months is not long enough to categorize him there.
