C Correct answer
Explanation

Ochlophobia is the correct term for fear of crowds or mobs, from the Greek 'ochlos' meaning crowd or mob. This differs from other options - Pantophobia is fear of everything, Monophobia is fear of being alone, and 'Ochophobia' appears to be a misspelling or distractor. This phobia can cause people to avoid public spaces and events.
