During middle adulthood, a major transition includes

Retirement
Job promotion
Physical and cognitive changes
Puberty

The correct answer is: Retirement

During middle adulthood, individuals typically experience physical and cognitive changes, but these do not qualify as "major transitions". Puberty is a major transition, but it occurs during adolescence, not middle adulthood. Job promotion may be a significant event, but it is not a major transition that is specific to middle adulthood. Retirement, on the other hand, is a significant and often challenging transition for individuals in middle adulthood, as it marks the end of a long-term career and can bring about changes in one's daily routine, social connections, and financial stability. Therefore, option A is the correct choice as it is the only option that specifically addresses a major transition that occurs during middle adulthood.
