The correct answer is diffusion.
According to James Marcia's theory of identity formation, there are four stages: diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium, and achievement. An adolescent who doesn't exhibit any exploration or commitment would fall under the first stage - diffusion. Once he or she actually commits to something, they will proceed to the next stage.
