A Correct answer
Explanation

Paraskavedekatriaphobia is specifically the fear of Friday the 13th. The name combines Greek 'paraskevi' (Friday) and 'dekatreis' (thirteen). Option C refers to triskaidekaphobia, which is fear of the number 13 itself, not specifically the Friday combination. This superstition has roots in both Christian theology (13 at Last Supper) and Norse mythology.
