Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The ego is the part of the personality that functions as the mediator between the desires of the id (our primitive, instinctual urges) and the demands of the external world. In Bruce's case, the ego might help him find a way to express his feelings about his wife's habits in a constructive and loving way, rather than simply suppressing them or lashing out in anger.
