Marquita and Monette are fraternal twin sisters who just turned 75. Their families threw a big birthday party for them, and the sisters spoke on the phone with each other the next day. Marquita was still feeling elated about their special day. She talked with Monette about how, looking back at her life, she feels like even though she's just one little person she has had purpose and made a difference in people's lives. Monette is feeling the opposite. She feels bitter about the way her life has turned out, with failed marriages and ungrateful children and grandchildren. She is more depressed than ever because the party reminded her how unhappy she is. What psychosocial stage does this represent?
A. identity versus role confusion
B. ego integrity
