N the 1600s, the Dutch West India Company was more powerful and
successful than Microsoft, IBM, or General Motors today. The Company's
thousands of employees had one primary goal: to make money. Investors in
the Dutch West India Company were fortunate. Its annual profits went as
high as 200 or 300 percent. (In comparison, a strong stock today might
return yearly profits of 20 or 30 percent.) In the pursuit of profits,
the Company traded commodities such as spices, sugar, fur, and slaves.
It also fought battles against Spain to gain new territory.
The Dutch West India Company was an offshoot of the Dutch East India
Company, which funded Henry Hudson's voyage to North America in 1609. If
Hudson could find a secret shortcut to Asia, the Company would make
even more profits.
Although
Hudson failed at this mission, his dazzling reports of fur trading
opportunities inspired merchants. About fifteen years later, the Company
sent over some thirty families as colonists and workers. They called
the new colony "New Amsterdam." Later renamed New York, it would grow
into one of the greatest cities in the world.

Answer: D) Repression
Explanation: According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, Repression is a situation where one unconsciously pushes aside or remove painful memories/experiences out of his or her consciouness to the point that they are no longer aware of the existence of such memories/experiences. Even though this memories can't be remembered, they still affect the behaviors of this individuals in one way or the other.
Matteo's experience of how he was biten by a dog was so painful that he unconsciously pushes the memories out of his consciouness, this led to him becoming unaware of the incident but he is still afraid of dogs and he can't remember how and when he started being afraid of dogs. This shows that although he has forgotten the experience, the memories still affects his behavior. This scenario best illustrates repression.
