Nancy was torn in her decision to major in music or take up an undergraduate program in engineering. She finally chose the latter, with a minor in music. Identify Nancy's status of identity. Select one:

A. AchievementB. MoratoriumC. DiffusionD. Foreclosure

Answer: A) Achievement

Explanation:

Identity achievement is defined as the stage of life in which a person tends to identify himself/herself with all the meaning and sense. Exploring and searching about self is the process to achieve identity achievement. It depends upon the options that a person opts in life in different circumstances such as occupation, education, etc.

According to the question, Nancy's scenario of opting music degree between music or undergraduate program determines that is is truly exploring her choices of life. Thus, she is at the stage of identity achievement.

Other options are incorrect because identity moratorium is development of identity at adolescent level. Identity diffusion and foreclosure is still searching for identity and not chosen the option of life yet respectively. Thus, the correct option is option (A).
