This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Grant is in the 3rd grade and is enthusiastic about learning in school. Beyond recess he enjoys reading books, doing his math homework, and learning new spelling words. He is also confident in his ability to accomplish goals that he has set for himself. Which of Erikson's psychosocial stages is Grant in?

a. trust vs. mistrust

b. autonomy vs. shame and doubt

c. initiative vs. guilt

d. industry vs. inferiority

The correct answer is d. industry vs. inferiority.

Explanation:

Industry vs. inferiority is the fourth in Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. At this stage, children are between the ages of 5 and 12. They begin to take pride in their accomplishments as well as value their peers' opinions of them. Children begin to behave in ways that are accepted and well regarded socially as a way to receive social approval. Since Grant is a 3rd grader, he is probably 9 years old. He is enjoying school, which is now a great source of social interactions for him. He is confident in accomplishing goals, and most likely feels proud of himself whenever he does so.
