Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Freud believed that symptoms were the result of psychological processes, specifically unconscious memories and conflicts. He developed psychoanalytic therapy techniques to help patients uncover and work through these underlying issues. The other choices (genetic defects, inferiority complex, collective unconscious) do not align with Freud's approach to understanding and treating symptoms.
