Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, the Id is the center of innate and unconscious tendencies operating on the 'pleasure principle'. The Ego operates on the reality principle to balance the Id and Superego.
- When reality stress becomes too high, the Ego unconsciously resorts to defense mechanisms to reduce anxiety.
- Rationalization involves creating logical yet socially acceptable false justifications for one's failure or undesirable behavior (e.g., "grapes are sour").
- Projection involves attributing one's own unacceptable feelings, frustrations, or faults onto others (e.g., a dishonest person accusing others of being dishonest).
Therefore, Option (A) provides the most accurate and scientific explanation of these psychological concepts.
