This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Seventeen-year-old Andrew failed several classes, lost his job, and spends most of his time sleeping on the couch. When his parents voice their disapproval, he replies, "Whatever." Andrew's response indicates .

a. identity foreclosure

b. moratorium

c. identity achievement

d. role confusion

Andrew's response indicates d. role confusion.

Explanation:

According to Erik Erikson's stages of Psychosocial Development, identity vs. role confusion is the fifth stage, taking place during adolescence. A teenager experiences role confusion when he is not sure of who he is, what his role and place is in society. During this stage, he will try several different roles, experimenting identities until, if successful, choosing the one that he feels truly represents him. Success in this stage creates fidelity, the ability to commit to and accept others. As we learned from the description, Andrew is still an adolescent going through this stage. He hasn't found his own identity yet and seems discouraged to even try. He might very well be failing this stage.
