Brian is struggling with himself. He's always been a good student, but lately his grades have been slipping a little bit. He feels like he has nothing in common with those who were once close friends, and yet he doesn't seem to "fit in" with any other crowd. He will be finishing his degree in history next year, but lately, he's been wondering whether he really wants to be an historian (and he feels silly that he's wasted so much valuable time on something that he might not even want to do for the rest of his life). His girlfriend wants to get married after graduation, and he had planned to give her a ring over winter break; however, lately he's been feeling like marriage should wait.

A) superiority complex.
B) generativity complex.
C) identity crisis.
D) defeatist attitude (d-crisis).
E) ecological crisis.
