Explanation:

To determine the correct hyphenated form, we recall hyphenation rules for compound words. "Self-assured" is the correct hyphenated form as "self" and "assured" form a compound adjective, and hyphenation is needed for clarity. "Selfassured" lacks a hyphen and is incorrect, and "self assured" (with a space) is also incorrect for a compound adjective in this context.

Answer:

self - assured
