The _________ is the part of the personality that develops in our interactions and results in problems when a person identifies with this rather than the Self.

A) persona
B) anima/animus
C) hero
D) trickster.

The persona is the part of the personality that develops in response to social interactions and expectations. It is the "mask" we wear in different situations and can result in problems when a person becomes too identified with it and loses touch with their true Self. The anima/animus, hero, and trickster are all archetypes within the collective unconscious, not parts of the personality that develop in the same way as the persona.
