AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

Hypoallergenic -> "unlikely to cause an allergic reaction." Hypochondriac -> Refers to a person who constantly thinks they are ill. Hypochondria -> Refers to the state or condition where someone has constant fears about their health and believes they are ill even when they are not — which matches the description exactly. Hence, option 3 is the answer since the question refers to the "state". A person who has hypochondria is called a hypochondriac.
