Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Freud theorized that the id is present from birth and the ego begins to develop during the oral stage (first stage) to help the individual interact with the real world. The ego continues to develop and is followed by the development of the superego during the anal stage (second stage), which introduces the concepts of moral and ethical judgment. However, the correct pairing as per Freud's theory of psychosexual development stages and the development of the psychic apparatus (id, ego, superego) is not listed as an option here, indicating a mistake in the question or answer choices. The correct development sequence according to Freud is that the id is present from birth, the ego develops during the oral stage, and the superego during the phallic stage, not the anal stage as suggested by the options provided. Therefore, based on the options given, C is the closest match, but it inaccurately represents Freud's theory by suggesting the ego develops during the oral stage and the superego during the anal stage, which is a misinterpretation.
