According to developmental psychologist K. Warner Schaie, the point reached by young adults in which intelligence is applied to specific situations involving the attainment of long-term goals regarding careers, family, and societal contributions is called

a. achieving stage.
b. responsible stage.
c. reintegrative stage.
d. acquisitive stage.

a. achieving stage.  

Explanation:

Warner Schaie is a developmental German psychologist who has focused on the cognitive stages of people along their lifespan.

According to him, people go through different stages of cognitive development (since childhood and until they are old) along their life span.

The Achievement stage is the second stage of his theory and it takes place in young adulthood, according to Schaie during this stage the individual's primary cognitive tasks are to achieve personal goals in the long term future (starting a family, being successful in their careers, make contributions to society) by applying the intellectual skills that they learned when they were younger (adolescents).

marginal cost is a microeconomic measure that us to evaluate the extent to which the level of production of a good is sustainable in accounting, that is, to how many quantities the company plans to profit from the production of the good.

the concept of marginal cost is simple, it means the cost of producing one more item. for example, in the case of pies, the marginal cost is the cost of producing one more pie than those that have already been produced.

it is important to understand that productive activity influences marginal cost. the marginal cost of some goods can be very high, while others may be insignificant. for example, the marginal cost of producing an extra plane is very high. already the marginal cost of a water company to provide 1l more water is derisory.

in the case of pies, the cost involves the inputs, the labor and the fixed cost, which involves the fixed space of the bakery. the level of production initially has the marginal cost decreasing because there is space and manpower available. however, to produce more you have to hire more workers and buy more inputs. if physical space is limited, workers will conflict with places, inputs and their productivity will decrease, meaning there is an optimum point of production for each level of space and manpower. from this point on, the productivity of the workers will be getting smaller because of lack of space, so that the marginal cost of producing one more pie will be increasing. so, although you have not posted the chart, but if you have the answer, you can see that my explanation goes according to the marginal cost curve that will increase from the 4th pie, answer (c).
