a. assumed role
b. cyber selves
c. avowed identity

'Avowed identity' is demonstrated as the identity that an individual assigns to himself/herself. An individual attempts to assess his/her own worth and what one considers himself/herself to be.

As per the given description, the 'avowed identity' aspect of 'self-concept' has been described in this paragraph as Ellen evaluates herself as a 'student'. Her assignment of self-worth as a student exemplifies the identity what she has given to herself and what she considers herself to be instead of describing herself as what others consider her to be(ascribed identity). Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
