The correct answer to this question would be Option C i.e. Social stigma.

Stigma refers to unfavorable perceptions or treatment of someone because of a distinctive attribute, such as a mental disease, physical ailment, or disability.

Other qualities including gender, sexuality, color, religion, and culture can also be linked to social stigmas.

When someone views you negatively due to a specific quality or trait, it's called a stigma. Discrimination occurs when someone treats you poorly because of your mental illness. This is what has mostly happened to people with mental illnesses in the past.

When someone is defined by their condition rather than who they are as a person, stigma occurs. Instead of being referred to as "a person experiencing psychosis," they can be referred to as "psychotic."
