Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The superego is the part of the personality that represents our sense of right and wrong and our ideal standards. It develops as we internalize our parents' and society's moral standards and expectations. Freud believed that the superego was responsible for guilt and anxiety when we act against these internalized standards.
