Answer: D. Her need to exercise her self-expression.
In this excerpt, the speaker demonstrates her need to exercise her self-expression. The speaker describes her way of dressing. This is characteristic of youth in the 1970s: waist-long hair, hairband, bell-bottom blue jeans and tie-dye t-shirts. This shows that the speaker identifies herself with the young counterculture of the time. However, we know that her family is more traditional. Therefore, it is likely that her taste will clash with that of her family.
