what is albertos main concern about being seen?
he could get into trouble as an intruder.
it could alter his parents relationship.
someone might recognize him.
he feels ridiculous in his 2025-era clothes.

Explanation:

From paragraph 10, we know Alberto arrived shortly before his parents first met. If he is seen (violating "Don't Be Seen"), it could potentially change events. Since his parents' relationship started around this time (Amos visited Willa's lab on her birthday which might be when they met), being seen could alter that relationship. The other options: there's no indication he's worried about trouble as an intruder (no mention of security etc.), "Someone might recognize him" - but the key is the time - he's from a different time (implied by "2025 - era clothes" but the main concern is the parents' relationship), and feeling ridiculous about clothes is a minor detail compared to the parents' relationship.

Answer:

It could alter his parents' relationship.
