Marcia's conceptualization of identity development includes four different stages. Identity diffusion refers to the stage where an individual has not yet explored different options and has not made a commitment. Foreclosure refers to the stage where an individual has made a commitment without exploring options. Moratorium describes an individual who is actively exploring different options but has not yet made a commitment. Identity achievement refers to the final stage where an individual has explored different options and has made a commitment to a sense of self. Therefore, the individual in question is most likely in the moratorium stage, making the correct answer choice C.
