B) social dilemma
C) role conflict
D) reactance

John is experiencing a conflict between two roles, one as a member of a rock band and the other as a member of the Army Reserves, both of which have different expectations for his hair length. This is known as a role conflict. Option A, avoidance-avoidance conflict, refers to a situation where an individual must choose between two undesirable options, which is not applicable here. Option B, a social dilemma, involves a situation where individuals must balance their own self-interest with the interests of a larger group, which is also not applicable here. Option D, reactance, is a psychological term that refers to the resistance individuals may have toward being told what to do, which is not the primary issue in this scenario.
