Answer:

B. False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Erik Erikson was a famous psychologist who has discovered the theory of psychosocial development in which he has mention eight distinct stages.

He has identified his theory while criticizing Sigmund Freud's theory in a way that he believes that an individual tends to develop throughout his or her life rather than to some specific age or point. Erikson mentioned that Freud's main focus was sexual development and he has not mentioned the social aspect in which a child grows.

Erik Erikson argued about human development and therefore explained the way an individual develops his or her sense of self and self-awareness and hence it arises from his own experiences related to childhood.
