Arrange the Ego Strengths in correct sequence according to Erikson's stages of ego development.

Correct option is C

According to Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory, ego strengths emerge sequentially across the eight stages of life. The correct sequence begins with hope (infancy: trust vs. mistrust), followed by will (early childhood: autonomy vs. shame), purpose (preschool: initiative vs. guilt), competence (school age: industry vs. inferiority), fidelity (adolescence: identity vs. role confusion), love (young adulthood: intimacy vs. isolation), care (middle adulthood: generativity vs. stagnation), and wisdom (late adulthood: integrity vs. despair).

Information Booster:
● Hope: Emerges from the successful resolution of trust vs. mistrust (0-1 year)
● Will: Develops through autonomy vs. shame and doubt (1-3 years)
● Purpose: Results from initiative vs. guilt (3-6 years)
● Competence: Achieved through industry vs. inferiority (6-12 years)
● Fidelity: Emerges during identity vs. role confusion (adolescence)
Love, care, and wisdom: Sequential strengths in adulthood representing intimacy, generativity, and ego integrity
