Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The collective unconscious proposed by Jung consists of universal psychological patterns, images, and themes that are shared by all humans, regardless of culture or upbringing. One of these universal themes is the incest taboo, which is thought to arise from a deep-seated aversion to close sexual relationships with close family members. This aversion is believed to be innate, rather than learned or culturally constructed, and is related to the universal fear of incest and inbreeding. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is B, the collective unconscious.
