The correct answer is the latency stage.

According to Freud's theory of psychosexual development, during ages 7-11 children are in the latency stage of development. During this stage, psychosexual feelings become unconscious and are dormant. Children instead spend their energy and focus on school, studies, hobbies and their friendships.
