Erikson's stage of industry vs. inferiority occurs between the ages of 6 and 12. During this stage, children become more interested in mastering new skills and tasks, and they generally look to adults and peers for feedback about their abilities. It is during this stage that attitudes toward oneself are most influenced by teachers, peers, and other adults outside the home. Therefore, the best choice is C) industry vs. inferiority.
