Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Freud believed that personality was formed by the interactions between the id (the unconscious, primitive desires), the ego (the rational, conscious self), and the superego (internalized moral values and societal expectations). Conflicts between these three parts of the personality can arise and need to be resolved for healthy functioning.
