Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Kohlberg's theory of gender development suggests that children pass through three stages: gender identity (awareness of their own gender), gender stability (understanding that gender is a stable characteristic), and gender constancy (understanding that gender remains the same despite changes in appearance or behavior). Tina's realization that she will never be a boy indicates that she has reached the stage of gender stability, where she understands that gender is a stable characteristic. Choice A (identification) is not a stage in Kohlberg's theory of gender development. Choice B (gender awareness) is the first stage, and is typically reached by age 2-3. Choice D (penis envy) is a term from Freud's psychoanalytic theory and is not applicable in this context.
