Explanation

• The correct option correctly matches each of Freud's psychosexual stages with its corresponding age range.
• Oral Stage (A) is matched with 6 to 18 months (3), where pleasure is centered on the mouth.
• Anal Stage (B) is matched with 18 months to 3 years (4), focusing on bowel and bladder control.
• Latency Stage (C) is matched with 6 to 12 years (2), a period of dormant sexual feelings and focus on social skills.
• Genital Stage (D) is matched with 12 years onwards (1), marking the maturation of sexual interests towards others.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option B: This option incorrectly matches the stages with the age ranges. For example, it incorrectly pairs the Oral stage (A) with 18 months to 3 years (4), which is the Anal stage.
• Option C: This option scrambles all the matches. For instance, it incorrectly assigns the Genital stage's age range (12 years onwards) to the Oral stage (A).
• Option D: This option also provides a completely incorrect set of matches. It wrongly associates the Oral stage (A) with the Latency stage's age range (6 to 12 years).

Clinical Relevance

• Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Freud's Psychosexual Stages of Development as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
• Understanding developmental theories like Freud's helps nurses assess whether a child's behavior is age-appropriate.
• It provides a framework for identifying potential developmental delays or fixations that may influence a patient's personality and coping mechanisms in adulthood.
• Nurses can use this knowledge to provide anticipatory guidance to parents about developmental milestones and challenges.

How to Approach the Question

• First, identify the core concept being tested, which is Freud's theory of psychosexual development.
• Recall the sequence of the stages: Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency, and Genital (OAPLG).
• Associate each stage with its specific age range and key characteristics.
• Systematically match each item in List-I (Stage) with its correct corresponding item in List-II (Age Range).
• For example, recall that the Oral stage is the earliest, from birth to about 18 months. Find the corresponding age range in List-II.
• Continue this process for all stages listed. Once all pairs are matched, find the option that represents this correct set of pairs.
