Explanation:

Stage theories generally assume that stages are genetically predisposed (B), each stage corresponds to a specific age (C), and each person goes through the stages in the same order (D). However, stage theories do not assume that stages are cultural. Cultural factors can influence development, but stage theories focus more on internal, biological, or cognitive factors.
