Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
According to Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, the phallic stage (approximately ages 3 to 6) is a highly sensitive phase of personality development. During this period, boys develop the 'Oedipus Complex' and girls develop the 'Electra Complex', viewing the same-sex parent as a rival. As a resolution to this conflict, the child establishes identification with the same-sex parent, which ultimately strengthens the moral values and social norms known as the 'superego'.
- Option A describes anal-retentiveness correctly but does not directly address the superego formation tied to the Oedipus/Electra resolution as requested in the core premise.
- Option B accurately captures the psychodynamic process of identification and superego strengthening following the resolution of the Oedipus/Electra complexes.
- Option C is scientifically inaccurate regarding cognitive development and fixations.
- Option D is false because the superego is not innate and is deeply connected to psychosexual stages.
