Erratic Behavior occurs when an individual acts in a manner that lacks consistency, regularity, and uniformity. Which situation below is the best example of Erratic Behavior?

Given data

• Erratic behavior = repeated inconsistency and irregularity over time.

Concept/Approach
Prefer a multi-episode pattern deviating from a prior stable baseline.

Step-by-step reasoning
(A) Predictable anger to a specific topic → consistent, not erratic.(B) Single outburst → isolated, not a pattern.(C) Indecision ≠ fluctuating behavior over time.(D) Repeated absences, forgetfulness, and abuse after years of stability → clear erratic pattern.

Verification/Alternative
Pattern test: only (D) lists multiple irregular behaviors across time.

Common pitfalls

• Equating intensity of one act (B) with erraticism; erratic requires variability and repetition.

Final Answer
Jeffrey's recent repeated irregularities best exemplify erratic behavior.
