Answer 3

Axis 1, in DSM-IV-TR, although a new version of DSM is coming out in the next three yearsm so that may change soon.



@fey, just so you know, the fact that comorbid personality disorders occur more frequently with it would be all the more reason for it to be on axis I rather than II, the reason PDs were moved to II was that axis I disorders happen so frequently with them that they decided putting them on a separate axis would help prevent their diagnosis being missed when an axis I is present.
