The correct answer is a) Feeling threatened by stereotypes that others hold of our group. An aspect of social identity threat is the fear that one's group will be negatively stereotyped or judged based on preconceived notions and biases. This can lead individuals to feel pressure to conform to the expectations of their group and can result in a lack of individuality and self-expression. It can also lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.
