Regression Is a Defense Mechanism Characterized by the Ego

Regression is a defense mechanism characterized by the ego:

A) redirecting the id impulse toward a safer outlet in order to minimize the consequences to you.
B) retreating to an earlier time in your life when the current stressor was absent.
C) hiding your id impulse in the unconscious to keep you unaware of it.
D) overreacting against the id impulses by doing the exact opposite.
