Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Janell is actively exploring her identity alternatives and has not committed to a specific identity yet. This is consistent with the moratorium status, which involves active exploration without commitment. The other options (achievement, foreclosure, and diffusion) involve some level of commitment or lack of exploration, which is not descriptive of Janell's current identity status.
