A person entering early adulthood would be focused on:

  1. Ego identity

  2. Industry vs. Inferiority

  3. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

  4. Intimacy vs. Isolation

The correct answer is: Intimacy vs. Isolation

During early adulthood, individuals typically experience a strong desire for close relationships, including romantic partnerships and friendships. This desire drives them towards achieving emotional and physical intimacy, which is the main focus of the stage of development known as "Intimacy vs. Isolation." Ego identity, as described in option A, is a focus in adolescence whereas industry vs. inferiority, described in option B, is a stage of focus during middle childhood. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt, as described in option C, is a stage of focus during toddlerhood and early childhood. Therefore, these options are incorrect as they are not representative of the developmental stage of early adulthood.
