Id

In psychoanalytic theory, the part of the human psyche that is the source of instinctual impulses and demands for immediate satisfaction of primitive needs.

Superego

The part of personality that, according to Freud, represents internalized ideals and provides standards for judgment (the conscience) and for future aspirations.

  • Acknowledge the contribution of the id, ego, and superego to personality development in Freudian psychology.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The id is the primal, instinctual part of the personality that operates on the pleasure principle and seeks immediate gratification of its desires, without regard for rules or consequences. Stephen's impulsive grabbing of the cake and taking a bite without asking or waiting for dessert is characteristic of id-driven behavior.
