Answer 1

The correct answer is **b) This is a major stage of development where the child has to learn the roles he will occupy as an adult. It is during this stage that the adolescent will re-examine his identity and try to find out exactly who he or she is. Erikson suggests that two identities are involved: the sexual and the occupational.**Identity vs. Role Confusion is a stage in Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. It occurs during adolescence (roughly ages 12-18), not young adulthood as described in option 'a'. During this stage, adolescents grapple with questions of who they are, what they believe in, and what their place in the world will be. As the correct option states, they explore various roles and identities, including those related to sexuality and future occupation, to form a sense of self.
