The passage does not talk about preventing manifestation. Thus option (a) is ruled out. In the last paragraph, the examples of a waiter and clergyman cited by the author refer to the alignment of self with the roles being performed. Option (c) goes beyond the scope of the passage. Hence, answer option (b) is the correct answer choice.
