According to many studies,which domain of self-concept correlates highly with overall self-esteem from late childhood through adulthood?

A) Peer acceptance
B) Athletic competence
C) Physical appearance
D) Physical competence

Physical appearance is the domain of self-concept that correlates highly with overall self-esteem from late childhood through adulthood. Many studies have consistently found that individuals who feel positive about their physical appearance tend to have higher overall self-esteem, while those who are dissatisfied with their physical appearance tend to have lower overall self-esteem. On the other hand, while peer acceptance and athletic or physical competence can also be important aspects of self-concept and self-esteem, they do not consistently correlate at the same level as physical appearance.
