Erikson's developmental stage of generativity versus stagnation is characterized by a focus on contributing to future generations and feeling productive and meaningful, rather than feeling unproductive and lacking purpose. Being a girl scout leader for 7 years demonstrates a commitment to contributing to the well-being of future generations, and therefore represents the achievement of this developmental stage. The other choices do not necessarily demonstrate generativity versus stagnation in the same way. Choice B represents Erikson's stage of industry versus inferiority, Choice C represents Erikson's stage of intimacy versus isolation, and Choice D may represent acceptance of mortality but does not necessarily demonstrate generativity versus stagnation.
