Final Answer : A, Explanation :  According to Freud's psychosexual development theory, the phallic stage occurs between the ages of 4 to 6 years old. During this stage, the child becomes aware of their own gender, develops a sexual attraction towards the opposite-sex parent, and experiences the Oedipus or Electra complex. The libido is focused on the genitals during this stage, which is why it is also called the genital stage. The oral stage occurs during infancy, the anal stage between 1 to 3 years old, and the genital stage during puberty and adulthood.

Around ages 4 to 6, the libido migrates to the genitals during the __________ stage.

A) phallic
