A. egocentrism.
B. insecure attachment.
C. role confusion.
D. fluid intelligence.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C. role confusion.

Explanation:

This is described as the fifth stage of ego according to Erikson, and usually begins in adolescence. During this stage, people start to develop a sense of identity.

Erikson stated that, in the transition to adulthood, teenagers might feel confused about who they are and how they fit in society. People who experience role confusion might present behaviours such as constantly changing jobs or relationships.
