Explanation:

Depression is marked by persistent sadness and loss of interest, not mainly about weight. PTSD (Post - Traumatic Stress Disorder) is related to trauma - related symptoms like flashbacks. Bipolar disorder involves mood swings between manic and depressive episodes. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, restricted eating (like only eating low - calorie food such as celery and giving away most food), and significant weight loss, which matches the girl's symptoms.

D. anorexia nervosa
