Answer:

c. a personal fable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Personal fable: In psychology, the term personal fable was introduced by Ginsberg, Elkind, and Alberts and is defined as the deduction related to the imaginary audience. An individual feels that he or she is the center of attention because the person believes that he or she is unique and special.

The personal fable is mostly acquired by adolescence as they believe that they can face any difficulty and problems and hence it will not affect them irrespective of their behavior.

In the question above, the given statement signifies the personal fable.
