Explanation:

Erikson's theory has a stage of identity vs. role confusion in adolescence. Resolving identity crisis helps in forming a sense of self, which is crucial for planning future goals (like career, relationships). The first option is wrong as life still has conflicts. The third is wrong as identity crisis is about current self - definition, not past conflicts. The fourth option's description is incomplete, but from the visible part, it's not a correct reason. The second option aligns with Erikson's view that a resolved identity allows one to make decisions about future endeavors.

B. Resolving the identity crisis will allow you to plan for, and make decisions about, future endeavors (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the first option as A, second as B, etc. based on the order in the question)
