The correct option is A - IV, B - I, C - II, D - III.

Based on the table provided in the image, we can match each of Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development (Set-I) with its corresponding life stage (Set-II) by understanding the developmental conflicts characteristic of each period of life:
1. A. Intimacy vs. Isolation matches with IV. During the 20s: This stage occurs during young adulthood (typically ages 18 to 40, or during the 20s). The primary conflict centers on forming intimate, loving relationships with other people. Success leads to strong relationships, while failure results in loneliness and isolation.
2. B. Ego integrity vs. Despair matches with I. Normally after retirement: This is the final stage of Erikson's theory, occurring in late adulthood (age 65 and older, which normally corresponds to the post-retirement phase). During this stage, individuals reflect on their lives and either develop a sense of integrity and satisfaction, or experience feelings of despair and regret.
3. C. Generativity vs. Stagnation matches with II. Much of adulthood: Occurring during middle adulthood (typically ages 40 to 65, representing much of adulthood), individuals strive to create or nurture things that will outlast them, often by having children, contributing to positive changes that benefit other people, or being productive at work. Failure to achieve this leads to a sense of stagnation.
4. D. Identity vs. Confusion matches with III. During adolescence: This stage occurs during adolescence (typically ages 12 to 18). Teenagers explore their independence and develop a sense of self and personal identity. Success leads to an ability to stay true to oneself, while failure leads to role confusion and a weak sense of self.

Thus, matching the columns gives us:
- A matches with IV
- B matches with I
- C matches with II
- D matches with III
