Question

a developmental task or crisis that occurs in each stage of development is an:

a. intimacy crisis.

b. authentic crisis.

c. isolation crisis.

d. identity crisis.

Explanation:

In developmental psychology (a subfield of Social Science), Erikson's theory of psychosocial development describes stages with crises/tasks. An identity crisis (Erikson's stage) involves exploring self - identity, and each developmental stage has such a task/crisis. Intimacy crisis is part of a specific stage (young adulthood), isolation crisis is not a standard term for developmental stages, and "authentic crisis" is not a recognized term in this context. So the correct answer is related to the identity crisis as the general term for a developmental task/crisis in each stage.

Answer:

D. identity crisis.
