Answer: The correct answer is "Dissociative Fugue".

Step-by-step explanation:

Dissociative Fugue is also known as Fugue state.

It is a psychiatric disorder that characterizes by amnesia for personal information.

An individual while on a fugue state may forget who he/she is, what's his/her name, what's their personality like and so on.
