Match List-I with List-II

List-I (Identity statuses according to Marcia (1980)) & List-II (Meaning)
(A) Identity Diffusion & (I) Active exploration without commitment
(B) Identity Foreclosure & (II) Commitment without exploration
(C) Identity Moratorium & (III) Resolution after exploration, commitment
(D) Identity Achievement & (IV) Lack of exploration, commitment

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (II), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)

Hint:

To remember Marcia's identity statuses easily, use a simple $2 \times 2$ grid:
- Yes Exploration + Yes Commitment = Achievement.
- Yes Exploration + No Commitment = Moratorium.
- No Exploration + Yes Commitment = Foreclosure.
- No Exploration + No Commitment = Diffusion.
