Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, the stage of infancy (birth to 18 months) is characterized by the fundamental question of "Is my world predictable and supportive?" Infants like Jerry are learning to trust their caregivers and their environment. They are developing a sense of security and dependability in the world around them. Therefore, although B, C, and D are important questions that individuals may struggle with at different stages of development, they are not the primary question for an infant in the first stage of life.
