The correct answer, indicated as D. Rationale: People with histrionic personality disorder do not have difficulty identifying with the feelings of others; instead, they seek attention through dramatic or exaggerated behavior. A person with histrionic personality disorder does not typically view themselves as inferior. They tend to overvalue their attractiveness and seek admiration.

Clients with histrionic personality disorder often use physical appearance and behavior to draw attention to themselves. This is a key characteristic of the disorder.
