Carla's behavior is indicative of high self-monitoring, meaning she closely monitors and adjusts her behavior to fit social norms and expectations in order to gain social approval and maintain her high social status. This is supported by the fact that she cares about what others think of her, likes to present herself perfectly in social situations and is seen only in the company of the elite. The other traits listed (low self-monitoring, low need for cognition, high frugality, and low self-esteem) do not fit with Carla's behavior and characteristics described in the scenario.
