Self-selection occurs when individuals choose to pursue or decline a job or opportunity based on their personal preferences, beliefs, or expectations. If Linda was shown a video depicting the challenges of the job and realized it wasn't what she anticipated, and therefore chose not to pursue the job, this suggests self-selection has taken place. Option A suggests Linda is struggling with the decision to accept the job, but does not necessarily indicate self-selection.
