Answer 1

Answer: B). Role confusion

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Eric Erik's on eight (8) stages of Psychosocial Development, in adolescence (between ages 12-18) a child faces the task of identity vs role confusion. That is, finding one's self. The main task in this stage is developing a sense of self.

According the Eric, Adolescents successful at this stage are said to have a strong sense of identity whilst Adolescents who develop a weak sense of self and are unsure about their identity are said to experience "Role confusion".
