    7. A phobia is

    • An alert feeling

    • An intense fear of certain situations, activities or things

    • A feeling of happiness

    Correct Answer
    A. An intense fear of certain situations, activities or things
    Explanation
    A phobia is an intense fear of certain situations, activities, or things. Phobias are characterized by a persistent and irrational fear that is disproportionate to the actual danger posed by the feared object or situation. People with phobias often go to great lengths to avoid the object of their fear, and their fear can cause significant distress and interference in their daily lives. This intense fear is what distinguishes a phobia from a general fear or anxiety.

    • Is shy

Shyness and alertness do not necessarily imply fear or being frightened, so they are not the correct choices.
