Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The Superego is the part of personality that represents the internalized moral standards and ideals of society, often referred to as the "conscience". The Id represents basic impulse and desires, the Ego is the mediator between the Id and external reality, and the Libido refers to the energy source behind all behavior, including sexual impulses. Therefore, the Superego is most similar to what we commonly call the "conscience".
