What do paraphilic disorders involve?

  1. Distressing economic theories

  2. Competence in social interactions

  3. Sexually arousing fantasies that cause distress or harm

  4. Efficient management of organizations

The correct answer is: Sexually arousing fantasies that cause distress or harm

Paraphilic disorders involve intense, persistent sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors that involve objects or situations outside the usual sexual norms, and can cause distress or impairment in the individual. Options A and D are incorrect because they are not related to sexual fantasies, and option B is incorrect because it refers to competence in social interactions rather than sexual behavior. The focus of paraphilic disorders is not on managing organizations, but on understanding and addressing unusual sexual preferences and behaviors.
