Answer 1

Correct answer: both anxiety and/or a phobia

Explanation: Acrophobia, or fear of heights, is a common phobia that causes intense fear and anxiety in situations where a person is high up off the ground. This is a specific phobia, which falls under the category of anxiety disorders. Therefore, a person who is terrified of heights likely suffers from both anxiety and a phobia.
