A) narcissism.
B) competence.
C) ostracism.
D) autonomy.

The punishment of sending Dejuan to his room for 20 minutes can lead to ostracism. Ostracism is the feeling of being excluded or rejected, and in this case, Dejuan may feel excluded from playing with his sister's friends and may also feel rejected by his own mother for being punished. This punishment does not promote autonomy or competence, nor does it have any significant association with narcissism.
