Option C => Social isolation.

Explanation:

Social isolation can simply be defined as a state of being cut off from other people. When someone is socially isolated it means that the person has been cut off from the society.

Human being can not actually exist efficiently without interacting with other members of the society because we are social animals. When someone is been isolated socially it is going to affect that person's brain and way of thinking and this might lead to the person being depressed.

Please note that loneliness and social isolation are not the same thing because one can be socially isolated and not be lonely and one can be lonely and not be socially isolated.
