The correct answer to the question: Elmer´s behavior illustrates the process of as an indicator of an emerging self-awareness, would be: joint attention.

Explanation:

The developmental process in a child called joint attention, usually appears between the ages of 8 to 10 months, according to research. During this stage, a child will observe an object of interest, and then, try through different communicational skills, to call the attention of another person to direct their eyes and attention towards the same object the child is observing. The importance of this particular process is huge for learning verbal skills, making connections between words and objects, establishing reference and also learning intention. Elmer wants his father to pay attention with him to the jumping bunny, which is why he points at the animal while also looking at his father, in this manner, Elmer wants his father to pay attention with him, and in this process Elmer will develop several communicational (both verbal and non-verbal) skills.
