Explanation:

From paragraphs 12-14, Taj reacts to his parents saying their reason for going to Novamundo is "Research" by immediately linking it to their careers, then shakes his head and cuts them off wearily. This implies he views their career-focused reason as prioritizing their own goals over his feelings, leading to the conclusion he sees their reasons as selfish. The other options (naive, dangerous) are not supported by the text.

Answer:

He thinks that their reasons are selfish.
