Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, during the stage of trust vs. mistrust (birth to 18 months), the most important body part is the mouth as infants rely on sucking and feeding for comfort and satisfaction, thus forming their first sense of trust in the world. The other body parts listed (anus, penis, nose) are not relevant to this stage of development.
