Correct answer: C

Developmental psychology divides growth from birth to adulthood into distinct stages -- infancy, childhood, early adolescence, middle adolescence, and late adolescence -- each marked by characteristic psychological and behavioural traits used to place a described tendency at its correct stage.

The 'feeling of revolt' -- resisting parental and social authority and asserting independence -- typically emerges with the onset of puberty, roughly ages 12-14, which corresponds to early adolescence. This is the stage at which a child begins questioning rules that were previously accepted without question, a defining marker educational psychologists use to identify it.

  • Infancy (birth to about age two) and childhood (roughly ages two to eleven) are typically marked by dependence on and conformity with caregivers rather than resistance to authority.

  • Middle adolescence (roughly ages fifteen to seventeen) is instead typically marked by peer-group identity formation and comparatively steadier emotional regulation, following this initial tendency once it has already emerged.

Hence, early adolescence is the developmental stage most associated with the tendency of revolt.
