According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, during the stage of adolescence (ages 12-18), the primary task is the development of a sense of identity. The fifth stage is called Identity vs. Role Confusion. In this stage, adolescents are faced with the challenge of establishing a clear and integrated sense of self. The virtue that must be developed during this stage is fidelity, which involves the ability to make and keep commitments. The aspect of this stage that involves a determination to exercise freedom of choice and self-restraint in the face of society's demands is the development of will. Therefore, the best choice is B) will.
