This is because Clint's belief that the CIA is looking for him and will kill him falls under the category of delusion of persecution, where an individual believes they are being targeted, harmed, or conspired against. This delusion is common in schizophrenia. Choice B: Delusion of reference involves believing that neutral events or objects have personal significance. This is not the case in Clint's situation. Choice C: Delusion of control or influence pertains to believing that external forces are controlling one's thoughts or actions. Clint's belief does not involve control or influence.
