  2. Yes, according to their symptoms
  3. Sometimes, depending on which diagnoses you are looking at
  4. No, it classifies the disorders that people have
Explanation

Answer - D - The DSM-V classifies disorders that people have, not the people themselves. For instance, the text in the DSM-V avoids the use of terms such as "schizophrenic." Instead, they use the more awkward, but accurate, term "a person with schizophrenia."
