Respuesta :

Answer:

(B) identity foreclosure.

Explanation:

Identity foreclosure refers to a stage in which a person already has an identity but he has not yet questioned it, or explored alternative options. Most of the time, the person has simply adopted the qualities of family and friends. Therefore, this most commonly happens with teenagers. Ideally, most people are able to move past this stage and develop an identity that is uniquely theirs.
