The answer is the third one (1 to 3 years): the anal stage of psychosexual development begins around this age.

Explanation for each option:

  • 5 to 7 years: This age range is typically associated with the latency stage of psychosexual development, not the anal stage.
  • Puberty: This period corresponds to the genital stage of psychosexual development, which occurs after the latency stage.
  • 1 to 3 years: This is the correct age range for the anal stage, where the focus of pleasure is on controlling bladder and bowel movements.
  • Birth: At birth, the individual is in the oral stage of psychosexual development, where the focus is on oral activities such as sucking and eating.

Summary: The anal stage of psychosexual development begins around the age of 1 to 3 years.
