Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The genital stage is the final stage of Freud's psychosexual development theory, occurring from puberty onwards. During this stage, adolescents' sexual urges reawaken and are directed towards peers, leading to the development of romantic interests and often a withdrawal from family as the primary focus of emotional attachment.
