Answer: B - D

Explanation: Letter B suggests that critics of the DSM say that almost every kind of behavior is considered as a disorder and that diagnosis is subjectively labled; there are lots of behaviors that are nowadays accepted socially but the DSM still considers it as a disorder (for example, some type of sexual orientation). Critics also say that diagnosis is usually subjective because sometimes a patient does not match all of the points for a disorder and sometimes shares some points with two or more, so diagnosis ends up depending on what the therapist percieves.
