Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

Psychological disorders do not just pertain to other people; quite simply, they are about people in general. Over 26 percent of Americans ages 18 and older suffer from some type of diagnosable psychological disorder in a given year. In fact, chances are that either you or someone you know will experience a psychological disorder.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) refers to 15 percent. However, it has actually been found that over 26 percent of Americans ages 18 and older are likely to suffer from some psychological disorder. So, option (A) is incorrect.

Option (C) refers to 40 percent. However, it has actually been found that the number of Americans ages 18 and older suffering from a psychological disorder is closer to 26 percent. So, option (C) is incorrect.

Option (D) refers to 46 percent. However, it has actually been found that the number of Americans ages 18 and older suffering from a psychological disorder is closer to 26 percent. So, option (D) is incorrect.

Therefore, the options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.
