Stephanie's smoking and overeating habits suggest fixation at the oral stage, while Saul's rigidity, organization, and stinginess suggest fixation at the anal stage. Shirley's flirtatiousness and disregard for rules suggest fixation at the phallic stage. Therefore, the correct pairing is Stephanie - oral, Saul - anal, and Shirley - phallic.
