Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While all of the answer choices are aspects of the unconscious, the most important and difficult to demonstrate aspect is that people keep memories and feelings out of awareness for motivated reasons. This is because it is difficult to prove someone is purposely avoiding thoughts or feelings without them directly confessing to it. The other options, such as behavior being influenced by unconscious events and the ability to recall forgotten memories, can be demonstrated through various psychological experiments and studies.
