Answer

C. Includes having illusions and hallucinations

Explanation

Paranoid schizophrenia is a subtype of schizophrenia that primarily involves delusions and hallucinations, often centered around paranoia. Individuals with this condition may experience intense fear or suspicion, believing that others are plotting against them or trying to harm them. The most distinguishing symptoms include illusions (false beliefs) and hallucinations (false sensory perceptions, like hearing voices).

Thus, C is the best description.
