Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. narcissist.
"Narcissist" is the most appropriate term for a person with excessive admiration of themselves because it specifically denotes an extreme preoccupation with one's own appearance or achievements.
This term captures the intense self-love and self-centeredness implied, which is more precise than "egotist" or "egocentric," which describe general self-centeredness without the same level of intensity.
"Fanatic" is unrelated, as it refers to extreme enthusiasm for a cause rather than self-admiration.
