Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
According to Selman, most school-age children are at the stage of two-way fair-weather cooperation. In this stage, they learn to take turns, share, and help each other, but the friendship is not necessarily intimate or mutually shared. The other options (1, 3, and 4) are stages that come after this stage and represent more advanced levels of friendship.
