Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The client is in the "Problem definition and formulation" stage, as he and his family have identified the issue (shyness leading to difficulty and loneliness) but have not yet moved on to deciding on or implementing solutions. This stage involves understanding and articulating the problem before any solutions are considered.
