A life stage that some researchers claim represents an adult child's accepting and meeting of their elderly parents' needs is called

A) ageism.
B) filial maturity.
C) post-formal obligation.

Filial maturity refers to the stage where adult children accept and meet the needs of their elderly parents. It is a term used in gerontology and family studies to describe a positive aspect of the parent-child relationship in later life. Ageism refers to discrimination against people based on their age. Post-formal obligation is a theoretical concept related to cognitive development, while the respite stage is not a recognized term in this context.
