Explanation:

This question relates to Erikson's psychosocial stages. The "intimacy versus isolation" stage (young adulthood) involves forming close, committed relationships. Valerie deciding about marriage fits this stage. Option A is adolescence, B is late adulthood, and C is an incorrect pairing (autonomy is earlier, intimacy is young adulthood). So D is correct.

Answer:

D. intimacy versus isolation
