Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the codes given below :

List I (Name of Syndrome)	List II (Description)
(a) Clérembault's syndrome	(1) Premature ejaculation and impotence
(b) Dhat syndrome	(2) Delusional belief that one is dead
(c) Capgras syndrome	(3) Erotomania
(d) Cotard syndrome	(4) Imposter syndrome

Answer: A

The correct code is a-3, b-1, c-4, d-2.

De Clérambault's syndrome is erotomania, the delusion that another person, usually of higher status, is in love with one (3).
Dhat syndrome, a culture-bound syndrome of South Asia, involves anxiety about losing semen, with complaints such as weakness, premature ejaculation and impotence (1).
Capgras syndrome is the delusion that a familiar person has been replaced by an identical impostor (4).
Cotard syndrome is the nihilistic delusion that one is dead or does not exist (2).

The other codes assign erotomania or the impostor delusion to the wrong syndrome.
