Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ego functions as an internal monitor that attempts to balance the impulsive demands of the id and the moralistic demands of the superego. Choice A is incorrect because the id is the part of personality that is driven by unconscious, instinctual impulses, while the superego is the part that represents one's moral conscience. Choice B is incorrect because there is no such thing as a "super-id." Choice D is incorrect because it reverses the roles of the superego and the id, and includes an inaccurate term.
