Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The Id is the part of the personality structure, according to Freudian psychoanalytic theory, that is responsible for basic instincts and desires. When John refused to help Jenny clean and chose not to say a word, it suggests that his actions were driven by his basic desires and impulses (e.g., desire for autonomy, resistance to demands) rather than rational thought (Ego) or moral considerations (Superego).
