B. Agoraphobia

Correct C.
Saro is expressing excessive worry about multiple situations. Generalized Anxiety Disorder involves excessive worry or anxiety about several events or activities that the person finds difficult to control. Children with this disorder are often perfectionistic, filled with self-doubt, and typically exhibit physical signs of anxiety (e.g., headaches, stomachaches).
Answer A: A diagnosis of Separation Anxiety Disorder requires evidence of excessive anxiety concerning separation from those to whom the child is attached. This evidence is not provided in the question description.
Answer B: The description does not indicate the essential features of Agoraphobia: that the child has a fear of being in places where escape might be difficult or embarrassing, or where help might not be available if panic-like symptoms develop.
Answer D: Specific Phobia is characterized by a marked and persistent fear of a specific object or situation. Saro's fears are broader than this and, therefore, Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a better diagnosis.
