Read this paragraph. Claire marveled at her little brother’s flawless dive. It looked effortless now, but she knew he had spent

weeks perfecting the arch of his body and the point of his toes. She wanted to have a dive like that—the type people stop and watch. Still, she could not bring herself to attempt it. After all, her brother’s first twenty or so dives had been awful, with knees and elbows flailing. Claire shuddered to imagine looking like that in clear view of the entire pool population. And the whole head-first concept seemed intimidating. She wondered if her hands would reach the bottom of the pool. Maybe some day. But for now, she decided she would just watch. What is the conflict in the excerpt? character versus self character versus character character versus society character versus nature

It seems to be character vs self since Claire is putting herself down with her insecurities.

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the A) Character versus self.  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that it is her own (baseless) insecurity, self-conciousness, and fear of failure the ones that are preventing Claire from trying to achieve the type of "flawless dive" that she longs for and that her brother has achieved, which reflects a character versus self conflict. She is not critical with her brother, although she recognizes that it took him a while to learn it, so the conflict is not between them. In addition, although she is afraid of making a fool of herself in front of the swimmers, the conflict is arguably not between her and society.
