Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, the stage of identity versus role confusion occurs during adolescence, typically roughly between the ages of 12-18. Jessica's tentative and reluctant attitude towards discussing her views on religion suggests that she may be in the midst of exploring and attempting to form her personal identity during this stage. Therefore, the best choice would be B, which represents 17 years old.
