    Letter B is the correct answer.

    Marco is experiencing a cognitive limitation known as personal fable. This term was first used by the psychologist David Elkind to describe a phenomenon very common among kids and teens. Personal fable is a cognitive limitation experienced by most adolescents that arises from egocentrism. They become so self-centered that they don't differentiate themselves from others and have a hard time considering other people's perspectives.
