Answer 1

The correct answer is **b)**.Here's why:* **Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt** is the *second* stage in Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. It occurs between the ages of 18 months and three years, as described in option b). This stage is characterized by the child's increasing independence and desire to make their own choices. Success in this stage leads to feelings of autonomy; failure results in feelings of shame and doubt.* Option a) describes the *fifth* stage, **Identity vs. Role Confusion**, which occurs during adolescence. This is a different stage with different developmental tasks.* Option c) is incorrect because only b) accurately describes Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt.
