Final Answer : C , Explanation :  The developmental task during adolescence is to establish personal identity.Socially,preteens and teens are driven by a need to belong to a group (e.g.,be on the soccer team).School-age children need to receive positive reinforcement for accomplishments and desired behavior,such as being good students.Although a small number of preadolescents are sexually active,it is not the major focus for this age.Functioning independently is a task for the young adult.
