C. developing personality problems later in life.

D. developing a self-concept that allows him to reach his fullest potential.

and D is the only one involving him being his own person even if it's nothing like his parents.

Answer 2

Answer:

Steven will become close to his ideal self as possible

Explanation:

Carl Rogers was a psychologis and was primarily focused on a person centered approach. His idea was to focus on the needs of the individual instead of the need of a "service". For example, Stephen's parents gave him the opportunity to explore the things that he  found most interesting to him and the things that made him fulfilled rather than what they thought that he needed.

This approach makes it very likely that Stephen will reach his full potential or at least very close to it.
