Answer 1

Insomnia is a condition in which the individual does not sleep and phobia means the person is scared of doing particular things. Phobia is a condition in which a person is scared of a particular thing.

Complete answer:
Phobia can be defined as a type of anxiety disorder defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation. Rapid onset of fear is the reason for phobia in a person and it is present for more than six months.
-The individual affected will go to a great extent to avoid the situation or object, to a degree greater than the actual danger posed. So, the correct answer for phobia is an option (4): intense fear in column II.
-A class functional mental disorder involving chronic distress, but neither delusions or hallucinations is called neurosis. It can be also defined as an inability to change one's life patterns, poor ability to adapt to one's environment. So, option (1): maladaptive habit is the correct answer for neurosis.
-A condition in which a person is excessively and unduly worried about having a serious illness is called hypochondria. So, option (2): undue concern about health is the correct answer of hypochondria.
-Insomnia can be referred to as a sleep disorder in which the individual lacks sleep. So option (3): lack of sleep is the correct meaning of insomnia.

Hence, the correct answer is Option E

Note: Neurosis and psychosis are different disorders. Psychosis means a loss of touch with reality. A hypochondriac is referred to as a person with hypochondriasis.
