The diaphragm is a sheet of skeletal muscles extending across the ribcage and is located at the base of the thorax. It also separates the thoracic cavity which includes the ribs, heart and lungs from the abdominal cavity. Diaphragm performs a vital function in respiration as once it contracts, the volume of thoracic activity would increase thus air is drawn into the lungs.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

B) identity versus role confusion

Explanation:

The theory of psychosocial development, that does not concentrate on the relationship between a child and the most important person in the child’s life is the identity versus role confusion (the 5th stage). The 5th stage of Erikson’s theory, occurs during adolescence. During this period, the person is searching for a sense of self personal identity. Children, become more independent and begin to look at the future. It is during this stage, that the person re-examines his/her identity and try to find out who he or she is. Additionally, they explore possibilities and begin to form their own identity based upon the outcome of their exploration. Therefore, we could conclude that the 5th stage centers more on the personal growing.
