Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
The anal stage occurs between approximately ages 6 months and 3 years, when according to Freud, children become increasingly aware of pleasurable sensations associated with bowel movements. As they gain maturational control, Freud felt, children might deliberately delay having a bowel movement to heighten the pleasure through increasing pressure on the rectal mucosa.
