D) A sense of industry is needed to successfully resolve a crisis of generativity/stagnation

Answer 1

A) A sense of identity is needed to successfully resolve a crisis of intimacy/isolation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The stage of intimacy/isolation is the sixth psychosocial stage of Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. This is a stage that takes place in a person's life between the ages of 19 and 40, or young adulthood. One of the main problems that people face during this stage is that of forming intimate relationships with others. When people cannot successfully complete this stage, they can develop feelings of loneliness. In order to resolve such a crisis at this stage, it is necessary to develop a sense of identity.
