Answer:

The correct answer is A. Because they are a point in there lives when they question their parents and rely more on their peers.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to symbolic interactionism, the first stage in the socialization process is primary socialization, where a child's reference point is his family, when he grows and begins to attend school, he moves on to what is called secondary socialization, and his main reference points begin to be his peers.

In adolescence, these reference points continue to have a strong influence in the person's behavior and values, and in this stage in life, the adolescent also begins a search for a personal identity, in consequence peers also become an important source of self-definition.
