Answer:

make vocational contributions

Step-by-step explanation:

"Generativity vs. Stagnation" is the 7th stage of Erik Erikson's "8 Stages of Psychosocial Development."

The 7th stage shows the psychosocial crisis that people face once they're in the age of 40-65. The basic virtue here is "care," so people in this stage think about how they can contribute to the world. Among the choices above, it is only "making vocational contributions" that shows care for the world. This is then expected of adults who are in this stage. They contribute something that they know will benefit the future generation.
