Explanation:

In the pathophysiology of Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder (OCD), research has shown that serotonin (a neurotransmitter) is primarily implicated. Serotonin dysregulation is associated with the symptoms and underlying mechanisms of OCD. Dopamine is more related to disorders like schizophrenia and addiction in its primary implications, norepinephrine to stress - related and mood disorders, and GABA to anxiety regulation but not as the primary neurotransmitter for OCD.

Answer:

A. Serotonin
