James Logan · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Role overload involves having more roles,or more responsibilities within a role,than are manageable.Role overload is common in individuals who unsuccessfully attempt to meet the demands of work and family while trying to find some personal time.Role confusion is an aspect of the developmental task of adolescence and young adulthood (identity versus role confusion).Role ambiguity involves unclear role expectations.Role performance itself is not a stressor unless it is judged ineffective.
