Answer 1

Answer:

A. During adolescence boys and girls have a very strong sense of self

In psychology, particularly according to Erik Erikson, adolescence is defined by Identity vs. Role Confusion. Because teenagers are constantly "trying on" different personalities, styles, and values, their sense of self is actually considered unstable, fragile, or evolving—rather than "very strong."

• A "Strong" Self: Implies a person is firm, consistent, and confident in who they are.

• The Adolescent Self: Often feels like a "fraud" or changes depending on the social group they are with.
