Answer 1

C. the "MAMA" cycle of identity development.

Step-by-step explanation:

James Marcia was a famous psychologist who has proposed the four distinct stages of identity stages or statuses while developing the role of an individual and included diffusion, achievement, foreclosure, and moratorium stages.

MAMA cycles of identity development refers to the process through which an individual's identity status begins to change from moratorium to achievement and therefore to the moratorium to achievement. These changes in identity development can occur throughout life. In an individual's identity development, the family atmosphere is important and provides connectedness and individuality.
