A) a categorical selfB) empathyC) self-conscious emotionsD) scale errors

The correct answer is A) Categorical self

Explanation:

The term "categorical self" is used in psychology and related fields to refers to the categories in which individuals classify themselves; this is related to self- awareness, self-concept and the development of one's identity as separate from others.

Annmarie is beginning to develop the categorical self because her words "I a good girl" show that she knows she is a sperate person from others. Besides this, she categorizes herself as a girl, which shows she has understood the difference between girls and boys, and then identify the category in which she fits. Finally, by saying she is good, she shows ideas about herself (self-concept).
