Answer to Question 1

B
Psychological theories of aging stress developmental tasks (Erikson's eight stages of life theory); the fact that older people may form a subculture that has its own cultural norms, standards, beliefs, and expectations that make them different from other groups; and the idea of continuity or, in other words, that one's personality, characteristics, likes, and dislikes will continue in old agemaybe more so. Response B refers to a physiological theory of aging.
