Answer 1

Despair

Explanation:

Erick Erickson proposed a psycho-social developmental theory. It was the famous theory of development. In this theory, Erickson provided eight stages of life. All stages are very important. No one can skip a single stage. Despair vs integrity is the last stage of this theory.

Despair: At this stage, Erickson told us that when a person feels that their life was not productive, feel guilt about life and feel guilty about what we do not accomplish our life goals. When we feel that we do not earn in our life we develop despair in our life that leads to loneliness and depression.

Thus in the above statement, Teka is on the despair stage pf psycho-social development theory by Erick Erickson.
