Answer
The answer is **A (d)**.Self-concept refers to how we perceive our own abilities, traits, and characteristics. Option (d), "I'm not good at solving interpersonal conflicts, but I am good at solving math problems," directly addresses the individual's perceived abilities in two different areas. This self-assessment of strengths and weaknesses is a clear statement of self-concept.The other options are not as directly related to self-concept:* **(a)** Describes a memory/experience, not a self-assessment.* **(b)** Expresses a future plan and uncertainty, not a current self-view.* **(c)** Explains a preference (not liking paper copies), which is indirectly related to self-concept but not a direct statement of abilities or traits.
