Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is D. Possible career paths.

Explanation:

According to the paragraph we are analyzing here, adolescents are expected to choose the role they will play as adults, specially concerning their career choices, even though they are just beginning to find themselves as individuals. People's role in society is usually connected (by society itself) to the job they have. For adolescents, that may be a dilemma since they are still on the way to finding their identity.
