The correct answer is letter A
In Erikson's theory, when we reach this cycle stage 6 (19 - 40 years), we focus on social and emotional development. When we reach adulthood, relationships, responsibilities, insertion in environments that we were previously unaware of, and we have to make important decisions that affect personal development. Relationships with family, friends, co-workers and partner (boyfriend, fiancé, spouse, etc.) directly affect the individual's motivations and ambitions. External influences affect much more than internal influences, and the preference for learning happens more practically, even if part of it is in an academic setting. The interest is in getting a job, seeking a promotion, being seen as a successful person, etc. It is up to the educator to know how to work on the inner side, intrinsic motivations and show the adult that theoretical knowledge is also important for their personal and professional achievements.
