Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The term "chronosystem" refers to the temporal dimension of human development, including historic time and life transitions. This includes changes that occur over an individual's lifespan (e.g. puberty, retirement), as well as changes in the broader sociohistorical context (e.g. wars, technological advances). The other choices (exosystem, macrosystem, and microsystem) refer to other levels in Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory.
