Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Gender identity refers to an individual's internal sense of their gender, regardless of their biological sex. In this case, James identifies as male, which is a part of his gender identity. The other options - pleasure principle, superego, and affiliation motivation - do not relate to gender identity. The pleasure principle refers to seeking pleasure and avoiding pain, the superego refers to the conscience and moral values, and affiliation motivation refers to the desire for social connections and relationships.
