Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As adolescents progress towards achieving an identity, their thinking becomes more complex and they become less egocentric. The imaginary audience (the belief that everyone is watching and paying attention to them) becomes less common, along with personal fables (the belief that their experiences are unique and nobody else can understand) and the illusion of invulnerability (the belief that nothing bad can happen to them). Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
