The correct answer is identity versus role confusion.

Adolescents often have a psychological crisis as a result of wanting to find themselves but being unable to do so because there are specific roles they need to play in the society. They are not children anymore, which means they need to become a productive part of the society, which is something they are not ready for, which leads to their identity crisis.
