Correct Answer - Option 4 : Developmental task

Emotional task	The Emotional Regulation Task assesses an individual's ability to regulate emotions. Specifically, this task is designed to elicit both positive and negative emotional states in order to examine participants’ abilities to increase positive, and decrease negative, emotions in real-time.
Cognitive task	Cognitive tasks are those undertakings that require a person to mentally process new information (i.e., acquire and organize knowledge/learn) and allow them to recall, retrieve that information from memory and to use that information at a later time in the same or similar situation.
Psychological task	The tasks of the contemporary psychology are related to the study of mental energy; health improvement; enhancement of educational attractiveness, including by means of use of electronic devices in the educational process; informing the society regarding the sensitive stages in human development; elaboration of psycho-diagnostic opportunities by means of creation of new instruments and improvement of non-verbal recognition of mental phenomena; enhancing psychological competences regarding the offer of more models that explain mental phenomena, etc.
Developmental task	A developmental task is a task that arises at or about a certain period in life, unsuccessful achievement of which leads to inability to perform tasks associated with the next period or stage in life. A developmental task is one that arises predictably and consistently at or about a certain period in the life of the individual. The concept of developmental tasks assumes that human development in modern societies is characterized by a long series of tasks that individuals have to learn throughout their lives. Successful achievement of a certain task is expected to lead to happiness and to success with later tasks, while failure may result in unhappiness in the individual, disapproval by the society, and difficulty with later tasks.
