Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Self-discrepancy theory, developed by Higgins (1987), includes three domains of the self: the actual self (the self-concept as it currently is), the ideal self (our representation of the qualities we would like to possess), and the ought self (our representation of the qualities we believe we should possess). The "rejected self" is not a component of this theory.
