Options:

Self Regulation

Self Worth

Self Confidence

Correct Answer:

Self Regulation

Explanation:

The answer is Self Regulation.

Self-regulation is the ability to control one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to achieve goals. In this case, Rahman was able to self-regulate by delaying his gratification of eating junk food, following a new diet and exercise plan, and rewarding himself for his progress.

The other options are not as accurate. Personality is a broad term that encompasses many different aspects of human behavior. Self worth is the value that a person places on themselves. Self confidence is the belief that one can succeed in what they set out to do.

Therefore, the only correct answer is Self Regulation.
