Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Richard's behavior suggests he has high self-presentational motivation, where he is concerned with the image he presents to others. The other options are less likely as there is no indication of low self-monitoring or self-efficacy, and while social anxiety could be a factor, it is not the most likely explanation given the focus on self-presentation.
