Explanation:

Independence involves making one's own choices and taking ownership of personal decisions. The quote where Jay chooses his own courses and is satisfied with his schedule directly shows he is exercising self-determination, a core part of developing independence. The other quotes either show casual choice, reduced resentment, or social adaptation, which are not as directly tied to the development of independence.

Answer:

He'd chosen his own courses for a change and was happy with his schedule.
