Felix Bradshaw · Answer 1

(C) identity diffusion.

Explanation:

Identity diffusion is a stage when a person lacks to recognize his personality traits. It is common in teenagers when they do not realize their social identity and have not committed to any path. They found difficult to decide their future and are not attempting to seeking for it. To cope up with this they have to make active choices and commitments for their future ahead.

As per the question Ahmed does not know what to do in the future and even not worried about it, he is at the stage of Identity diffusion.
