The answer is "d. autonomous". Autonomous means not controlled by others or by outside forces; independent. Independent in mind or judgment; self-directed; independent of the laws of another state or government; self-governing.

Autonomous individuals act intentionally, with understanding, and without controlling influences. As per Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, individual autonomy is an idea that is generally understood to refer to the capacity to be one's own person, to live one's life according to reasons and motives that are taken as one's own and not the product of manipulative or distorting external forces.

Autonomy means being the author of your life; you compose the rules you live by. According to Darlene Lancer, MFT, a psychotherapist and author of Codependency for Dummies, it means “owning your own reality, perceptions, thoughts, feelings, opinions and memories.”
