The correct answer is social comparison.

Social Comparison refers to the self-evaluation of an individual based on what the individual sees in his or her peers or the people around him or her. Based on the given situation, Marjorie has developed social comparison, since she evaluated herself based on the skills of her soccer team mates that she said that she looks like a 5 year old compared to her seniors.
