Answer: c.

Role conflict

Step-by-step explanation:

Role exit refers to the act performed by a person in which he is bound to shift his role or work priority depending upon the environment, time, demand of the peers or family, or anything in priority. Person leaves the role that was previously doing and attains a new role. Role strain can be defined as the trouble which is created when the person is expected to perform the social role while doing another role. Role conflict occurs when a person is bound to two or more priorities and obliged to work for both. This is evident in work and family roles. One can feel pulled with professional and family obligations.

The given situation is an example of role conflict this is because of the fact that person is working on the laptop but thinking about the duty of cooking meal for the children. So, here the person is bound to both duties and is not able to decide to which the focus should be on.
