d) agoraphobia

Explanation:

In psychopathology, agoraphobia refers to an anxiety disorder characterized by symptoms of anxiety in situations where the person perceives their environment to be unsafe and that there isn't a safe way to escape. Examples of these situations can be: open spaces, public transit, shopping malls, streets or just being outside.

The symptoms that these people can experience are the usual anxiety symptoms such as feeling dizzy, increased of the heart rate, difficulty breathing and thoughts about something bad happening.

In this example, Vanessa has had to rush home when being outside because she feels dizzy and feels she can't breathe. The doctors have ruled out any medical problem. She remains fearful and she has restricted her activities outside. We can see that Vanessa is experiencing anxiety when going out, in an environment that apparently she perceives as unsafe (open space, the street). Therefore, this is an example of agoraphobia.
