b. The transition to early adulthood.
c. The transition to middle adulthood.
d. The transition to late adulthood

Answer 1

The transition to early adulthood is the Levinson's phases is Ben demonstration.

Option b

Explanation:

The Levinso's phase which has been demonstrated here is the transition to early adult hood. This is the time or phase where the individuals tend to grow more self esteem, self satisfaction and self well being. They tend to think more about them. Like in the above case,  Ben had made so many plans about his future, his life and career but there nothing he has planned for his family.

As he has build more self importance that's why he is very conscious about himself. This behavior is seen in the early adulthood, so one must be careful as if this self esteem becomes more important and keeps on growing than can be against the moral and ethics.
