What are the three components of personality proposed by Freud?

  1. Id, Ego, Superego

  2. Conscious, Preconscious, Unconscious

  3. Superego, Ego Ideal, Ego

  4. Mind, Body, Spirit

The correct answer is: Id, Ego, Superego

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, proposed three main components of personality the id, ego, and superego. The id is the most primitive and instinctual part of our personality, consisting of our innate desires and drives. The ego is the rational and logical part of our personality that helps us navigate reality and make decisions. The superego represents our moral standards and ideals, and often conflicts with our Id's desires. Therefore, option A is correct as it includes all three components proposed by Freud. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe the three components of personality proposed by Freud and can be ruled out as incorrect answers.
