Answer:

Fifth stage

Step-by-step explanation:

Erik Erikson's development theory suggests that identity crisis usually occurs during the adolescence years and this identity crisis is the fifth stage as per the theorist. This identity finding helps people in identifying their personal, academic and professional priories. Although, here Jada is 21 years old but she is having an ethnic identity crisis and is trying to discover a profession in which she would be fulfilled which is fifth stage of Erikson's development theory.
