The correct answer is integrity versus despair

According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, integrity vs. despair is the final stage of development, older adults aged 65 years and above experience. During this stage of psychosocial development, older individuals reflect and look back on their lives and what they achieved or not achieved in terms of success, important experiences and spiritual and relationship satisfaction. After this evaluation, older adults either feel a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction or a sense of regret and despair.
