Solution

The answer is c. adolescent egocentrism. This term refers to the tendency of teenagers to focus on themselves and what others think of them. In this case, Sid is overthinking the situation and assuming that Nancy can understand his thoughts and feelings without him expressing them, which is a common characteristic of adolescent egocentrism.
