Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Freud stated that personality is essentially divided in three structures:

• The Id, which is based on instincts and immediate rewards. It's present since the moment we are born;
• The Ego, which regulates the impulses from the Id. It helps us think rationally and realistically, and function properly in society; and
• The Superego, which serves as a moral guide.
