Have I led a good life?

The stage of Integrity and Despair, according to Erikson's theory, is the final stage in the lifespan which occurs during late adulthood. It is characterized by reflecting on one's life and accomplishments, and coming to terms with the end of life. Option A is more relevant to the stage of Generativity vs. Stagnation, where individuals focus on contributing to society and leaving a positive impact. Option B is more relevant to the stage of Intimacy vs. Isolation, where individuals focus on forming meaningful relationships. Option D is more relevant to the stage of Identity vs. Role Confusion, where individuals focus on understanding their own identity and sense of self.
