Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
According to Erikson, the developmental task of infancy is the development of trust. The correct response is the only statement clearly showing lack of ability to trust others. An inability to work with others, coupled with a sense of superiority, suggests unsuccessful completion of the task of intimacy versus isolation. Relying on praise from others suggests unsuccessful completion of the task of identity versus role confusion. Shame suggests failure to resolve the crisis of initiative versus guilt.
