Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Carl Rogers would say that Elena's self-concept is incongruent because there is a discrepancy between her perception of herself and how others perceive her. Her self-description as awkward and scatter-brained does not align with the feedback she has received from others, indicating a lack of congruence between her self-image and reality.
