Answer:

b. egocentrism

Step-by-step explanation:

Jory's attitude and reasoning can be categorized as egocentrism. This is known as the excessive love that a person has about himself, his personality is the center of attention. Consists of believing that one's interests are above the thoughts of others. Jory is egocentric since he is small, his mental abilities do not allow him to understand that his mother may have interests different from his own.
