Hayden Baxter · Answer 1

b. role conflict.

Explanation:

Role conflict can be defined as incompatible demands faced by a person. these demands can be experienced by the person when he is pulled in various directions. Javoni is trying to respond to all the statuses she holds. For example in this scenario, she wants to keep up her status as a student and her status as a friend compatible to each other. Thus she is being pulled in conflicting directions to meet the demands of both these roles.
