The correct answer is 4) gaining identity versus confusion

According to Erikson's theory of the stages of psychosocial development, identity versus role confusion is something teenagers (age 12-18) typically have to cope with. This stage of psychosocial development involves teenagers exploring their unique goals, aspirations, beliefs and values to form a distinct personal identity. Teenagers experiment with different types of fashion, hairstyles, social groups etc., to "find themselves".
