According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, the developmental challenge during toddlerhood (age 1-3) is autonomy vs. shame and doubt, where children learn to assert their independence and make choices. The developmental challenge during early childhood (age 3-6) is initiative vs. guilt, where children learn to take initiative and plan activities, leading to a sense of purpose and direction or guilt and self-doubt. Therefore, option B, autonomy vs. shame and doubt; initiative vs. guilt, is the correct choice.
