阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
If you ask an American, "What is freedom?" you will probably hear, "It's being able to do what I want to do." When Americans think of freedom,they often think of individualism (个人主义). They see themselves more as individuals than as members of a family or social group.
Privacy (隐私) is one good example of individual rights. Personal freedom in America often means the right to one's own space. In many American homes, each child has his or her own bedroom. Parents feel they should knock before entering. When Americans want to visit friends or relatives, they usually call first. They don't want to invade (侵犯) someone's privacy, even if they know the person quite well. For Americans, a "family unit" is just a husband and wife and their children. They dislike having relatives or outsiders take too much interest in their affairs. Besides, individuals may not want to share private information in everyday conversation. If a stranger asks them "How much do you earn?" "How old are you?" or "Are you married?" Americans might feel embarrassed (窘迫的) or uncomfortable.
