Answer:

B)executive function; 25

Explanation:

Executive function is a set of cognitive processes that keep developing well into adulthood (till late 20s). It includes controlling attention span, planning, inhibiting automatic responses to stimuli, prioritizing and controlling working memory. All these functions help the person to stay focused on their goals and successfully adapt themselves to solve problems. Ryo is showing these traits hence he is developing executive function skills. These skills will be at peak in late 20s after which they will start to decline.
