Explanation:

Erik Erikson was a well known psychologist. He is famous for the psychological development of human beings. Erik Erikson developed eight stages of psychological development. This includes :

1. Trust vs. Mistrust

2. Autonomy vs. Shame

3. Initiative vs. Guilt

4. Industry vs. Inferiority

5. Identity vs. Role Confusion

6. Intimacy vs. Isolation

7. Generativity vs. Stagnation

8. Ego Integrity vs. Despair

Ego Integrity vs. Despair is the final and the eight stage of life according to Erikson's psychological development of humans. At his stage, we try to compare and contemplate our successes and failures in life.

On considering our life to be successful, we develop a sense of integrity and wholeness. This leads us to wisdom and we look back into our life with satisfaction and a sense of completeness. And we accept death without fear.

On the other hand an unsuccessful life or a life full of failures and despairs, we feel guilty and hopelessness of our fast and fear death at that moment.

Thus according to Erikson, Gus would ---

a. be very fearful of death.
