Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The ego is tasked with mediating between the demands of the id (our primitive desires), the superego (our internalized sense of morality), and reality (the external world). Therefore, the best answer is D - the ego tries to compromise between the demands of the id, superego, and reality. The other answer choices involve only some of these factors and do not fully encompass the role of the ego in psychoanalytic theory.
