The best answer is **C. disidentification**.
Disidentification refers to a psychological process in which individuals distance themselves from a domain or situation where they might experience stereotype threat. By using his social network to bolster his self-esteem and not feeling concerned about performing poorly on tests, Gary is likely disidentifying with the academic domain where he previously felt threatened by stereotypes.
