Answer: D
The type is Catatonic schizophrenia.
Catatonic schizophrenia is dominated by disturbances of psychomotor activity: stupor, rigidity, posturing, waxy flexibility, negativism, or bouts of purposeless excitement.
Paranoid schizophrenia is marked by delusions of persecution and hallucinations. Hebephrenic (disorganised) schizophrenia shows disorganised speech, behaviour and silly, inappropriate affect. Residual schizophrenia is a later stage with mainly negative symptoms.
