Answer 1

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

Explanation:

Both the Assertion and the Reason are true according to Erikson’s theory. However, the Reason refers to the Identity vs. Role Confusion stage of adolescence and does not directly explain the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage in early adulthood mentioned in the Assertion. Therefore, option (b) is correct.
