• A. Id
• B. Ego
• C. Superego
• D. Libido

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Sigmund Freud proposed that personality consists of three major structures:
• Id
• Ego
• Superego Each follows a different principle.

Step 1: Understand the Id. The Id operates on the: \[ \text{Pleasure Principle} \] It seeks immediate satisfaction of desires.

Step 2: Understand the Ego. The Ego operates on the: \[ \text{Reality Principle} \] It considers practical realities and decides how desires can be satisfied appropriately.

Step 3: Understand the Superego. The Superego represents moral values and ideals. It acts as the conscience of the individual.

Step 4: Identify the correct structure. Since the Reality Principle is associated with the Ego, \[ \boxed{\text{Ego}} \] is the correct answer. Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(B) Ego}} \]
