Which Freud stage follows the oral stage?

Phallic Latency Genital Anal

Correct Answer:

Anal

Explanation:

Understanding the sequence of Freud's psychosexual stages helps explain how early experiences shape development. After the oral stage, the next phase is the anal stage, typically around 18 to 36 months, where the child's focus shifts to mastering bowel control and toilet training marks this transition. This stage represents a move from oral gratification to a new arena of self-control and autonomy. Later stages follow in order: phallic, latency, and genital. So the stage that follows the oral stage is the anal stage.
