d. a decline in early childhood followed by an increase through adulthood?

Answer 1

The right answer is B. A decline in middle childhood until age 12 or 13 followed by an increase in adolescence. The self-concept is formed during the first years of life, due to the encouragement they receive to reach various developmental milestones tend to have a very high self-esteem. If the child maintains this feeling of achievement throughout childhood during adolescence his self-esteem will increase when he notices that he is developing new cognitive abilities.

I hope my answer can help you.
