The right answer is B) Role Strain. Role strain occurs when demands higher than expected are put on an individual performing a specific role or task, causing him or her to experience difficulties or stress. An example of this situation could be this: "My job is causing me role strain and I am getting very anxious." It is important to distinguish between "role strain" and "role conflict," which happens when two or more roles performed by the same person are incompatible, creating stress or difficulty in that person.
