Identity diffusion

Explanation:

This question doesn't give us the options for the answers but we can assume them because James Marcia's theory has only 4 categories of identity developent so I'll assume these are the options:

a. foreclosure

b. identity diffusion

c. moratorium

d. identity achievement.

James Marcia is a psychologist who proposed a theory on how adolescents go through the process of forming their identity.

According to him, there are 4 different stages that adolescents go through.

In this example, we are asked which of the four categories of identity development leads adolescents to appear carefree even though their lack of commitment impairs their ability to form close relationships and results in them being socially withdrawn. We can see that the state of identity diffusion makes adolescents to appear "carefree" and by not exploring their options this can result in them being socially withdrawn. Thus, the correct answer is identity diffusion.
