avoidant
B
borderline
C

Explanation

Jake’s behavior suggests detachment from social relationships and little interest in participating with coworkers. Schizoid personality disorder is associated with social isolation and limited emotional involvement with others, making “schizoid” the best fit. Avoidant personality disorder is more centered on fear of rejection, while the passage does not describe that fear.
