C Correct answer
Explanation

Dystychiphobia (note the spelling correction) is the specific phobia referring to the fear of accidents. The prefix 'dystycho' comes from Greek meaning accident or mishap. Methyphobia is fear of alcohol, autophobia is fear of being alone, and doraphobia is fear of fur. The spelling in option C is incorrect - it should be 'Dystychiphobia', not 'Dydtychiphobia'.
