According to Sigmund Freud's structural theory of personality, the id represents the primitive and instinctual part of our psyche, which seeks immediate gratification of our wants and desires without any consideration for social norms or moral values. Irene's theft of the bracelet without any concern for the consequences implies that her id was solely responsible for her behavior. A) the anal complex refers to a stage of psychosexual development, while C) the Electra complex refers to a specific type of psychosexual conflict experienced by girls, neither of which are relevant in this scenario. B) the superego represents the moral and ethical component of personality, which inhibits the impulsive and irrational impulses of the id by enforcing societal norms and values. As Irene's decision to steal the bracelet was not influenced by any guilt or moral considerations, it is unlikely that her superego played a role in this incident.
