Answer:

- Settling Down Period.

Explanation:

According to Levinson's theory of 'Seasons of Life', an adult undergoes this period between the age of 33 and 39 which is also categorized as 'early adulthood'. During this period, people begin to revive or restore their work through their conscious efforts to form their identities and the first step is to 'split off or break away' from the mentors. At this stage, the people become more devoted and involved towards their commitments towards family or community in order to establish a role or niche in the community.
