D

High-Yield Explanation
This question is controversial. ' Passivity' experiences are those in which patient experiences that his thoughts, emotions, actions or sensations are controlled / influenced by others. Passivity of thought is described as thought inseion, withdrawal and broadcast. Here the description that "brain is being controlled by radio waves by neighbor" is indicative of "passivity". In the questions the history for delusion of persecution (i.e., police is following) is also present. Given that passivity experiences are more impoant diagnostically, a better answer would be passivity.
