a) Yolanda: intimacy; Zachary: generativity; Andrew: wisdom

Explanation:

Erik Erickson explains how social relationship and the nature of humans influences the development of an individual as the individual progresses through the course of life, from birth to adulthood. He explains his psychosocial theory of development by propounding 8 stages that one passes through in the course of life, with each stage having identity crises that the individual has to deal with.

If Yolanda is 24, according to Erickson’s psychosocial theory, he is in stage 6, and the identity crisis Yolanda is faced with during this period of early adulthood is Intimacy vs Isolation. Since it is assumed that Yolanda successfully completed the identity crisis, the correct developmental outcome would be Intimacy.

Also, we can infer that Zachary who is 44 years of age is in stage 7, which occurs between 40 to 65 years. During middle adulthood, the identity crisis faced is Generativity vs. Stagnation, and the correct developmental outcome would be generativity.

Andrew, who is 73 years of age is obviously at the stage 8, which occurs from 65 to death. The correct developmental outcome associated at this maturity stage is wisdom.

SO, the correct option is a) Yolanda: intimacy; Zachary: generativity; Andrew: wisdom
