Bandura proposes that individuals' self-efficacy beliefs are influenced by their own behavior, their observations of others, and their emotional and physiological states. In adulthood, women who feel confident about their parenting skills are likely to model and promote self-efficacy beliefs in their children, leading to the development of a self-reinforcing cycle of efficacy. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because Bandura does not suggest dividing adulthood into three stages based on self-efficacy; self-efficacy reassessments can take place in adulthood just like any other stage; and self-efficacy developed during childhood does not directly determine the success of the stage.
