Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The superego is responsible for upholding moral standards and ideals, guiding individuals to make decisions based on what is right and wrong. In this scenario, Nari's decision not to copy, despite the temptation, is guided by her internal moral compass, which is a function of the superego.
