According to Erikson's theory, the psychosocial crisis that occurs during adolescence is identity vs. role confusion. If Sara is able to successfully navigate this crisis by developing a clear sense of identity, she will be more likely to face later life crises with a sense of confidence and appreciation for the complexity of life. Therefore, option C is the most likely outcome. Options A and B are not directly related to Sara's sexual orientation or identity development, and option D suggests a potential negative outcome that is not necessarily linked to successful identity development.
