The stage described in the question is the self-identity stage, which is the fourth stage of Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. During this stage (typically occurring in adolescence), individuals develop a sense of who they are and what they stand for. They understand that their identity remains constant despite changes in appearance, mood, and behavior. Self-esteem (A) refers to an individual's overall evaluation of themselves, which can develop earlier in childhood. Extension-of-self (B) and self-image (D) are not stages of Erikson's theory and do not directly align with the developmental milestone described in the question.
