Explanation

Answer: B - During old age, people experience the crisis of ego integrity vs. despair according to Erikson. Integrity is achieved if the prior stages have been resolved successfully and the mature person is able to trust, is independent, and looks forward to new experiences and looks back with satisfaction. If prior stages are not resolved, the person might view his/her life with despair, feeling like they have failed or fallen short in life.
