Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
According to Carl Rogers, congruence occurs when a person's self-concept matches their actual experiences and behavior. In this scenario, Rashad's self-concept (outgoing and sociable) aligns with his behavior as perceived by his friends (friendly and upbeat). Therefore, Rashad is experiencing congruence. Options A and B are not relevant to describing Rashad's personality in this scenario, and option D is incorrect as incongruence would occur if Rashad's self-concept did not match his actual behavior as perceived by others.
