Frustration is the response to obstacles or barriers that prevent an individual from reaching their goal. In this case, Herbert's goal is to drive his father's car, but he is being prevented from doing so because of his age. This can lead to feelings of anger, disappointment, and dissatisfaction, which are all characteristic of frustration. While anxiety, depression, and inadequacy can also be experienced in this situation, frustration is the most appropriate term to describe the stress and emotional response to being told no.
