Solution

The act of checking the locks 30 times would be considered a Compulsion. This is because compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that an individual feels driven to perform in response to an obsession. In this case, Max's obsession is the fear of someone breaking into his house, and his compulsion is the act of repeatedly checking the locks.
