Sublimation is the Freudian defense mechanism where an individual redirects their unacceptable urges into productive and socially acceptable activities. Unlike other defense mechanisms that involve repression or suppression of urges, sublimation allows individuals to express their impulses in a productive manner that ultimately benefits society as a whole. Therefore, C is the correct choice because it highlights this distinction. A is incorrect because sublimation is not directly related to the superego. B is incorrect because sublimation is not always destructive, and D is incorrect because sublimation does not necessarily involve the Oedipus complex.
