Choice A rationale:

Auditory hallucinations are more commonly associated with conditions like schizophrenia or certain types of psychosis. In bipolar disorder, individuals may experience mood swings between depression and mania, but auditory hallucinations are not a typical symptom during a depressive episode.

Choice B rationale:

Illusions of grandeur involve an exaggerated sense of one's importance, power, knowledge, or identity. This symptom is more commonly associated with manic episodes in bipolar disorder, not depressive episodes.

Choice C rationale:

Rapid speech and moving quickly from one idea to the next are characteristic symptoms of a manic episode in bipolar disorder, not a depressive episode. During depressive episodes, individuals often exhibit symptoms such as low energy, feelings of worthlessness, and difficulty concentrating.

Choice D rationale:

Inability to carry out a simple task is a common symptom of depression. Depressed individuals often struggle with daily activities, lose interest in hobbies, and have difficulty concentrating. This symptom aligns with the depressive episode of bipolar disorder.
