Sixteen-year-old Paul drinks heavily and drives dangerously fast, believing that he cannot be hurt. Paul is demonstrating: A. the personal fable. B. deductive reasoning. C. self-awareness. D. the invincibility fable.

The correct answer is letter D. the invincibility fable.

Explanation:

The invincibility fable is most common in teenagers, such as Paul. It is a feeling of indestructibility, of seeing oneself as immune to injuries or consequences of any kind. It is believed that the invincibility fable is caused by the incomplete development of the frontal lobe, the part of the brain responsible for the understanding of consequences. That would explain why it is common for some teenagers to engage in risky behavior.
