Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Anne's roles as a college student, a full-time employee, and a mother of two young children are likely to have different expectations and demands, making it difficult for her to fully satisfy all of them at the same time. This creates role conflict, where the demands of one role may interfere with her ability to meet the expectations of another role. It does not necessarily mean that the roles are inherently incompatible or that society will disapprove of her choices.
