Stages of development

Sigmund Freud's psychosexual theory of development is based on the idea that our personalities are shaped by our early experiences and the way we deal with our biological impulses. It consists of several stages, each of which centers around a different conflict or challenge. This theory is not concerned with social influences or conscious and rational motivators, which is why options A and C are incorrect. Similarly, while language acquisition is a key aspect of development, it is not the focus of Freud's psychosexual theory, making option D incorrect. Overall, the correct answer, B, accurately represents one of the main components of Freud's theory - the concept of stages of development.
