The situation B is the best example of an identity conflict.

Step-by-step explanation:

Identity conflict manifests when one is not sure of his or her own place in the world.Identity differences are the root cause of identity conflict.Psychological causes lead to identity conflicts.

In the above case , Alejandro is psychologically and emotionally not very bold. He is shy and doesn't have the courage to come out and reveal his emotions. So he is having identity conflict with himself on how to overcome his shyness and ask jenny out.

He can overcome this conflict by getting encouragement from his friends and talking to someone about his feelings for Jenny, Doing something that boosts his ego.

This will allow him to find courage and come out in the open about his feelings and emotions towards people and bold enough to show his emotions and feelings out in open.
