a. id is in control.
b. ability to delay gratification is strong.
c. logic includes the concept of stagnation.
d. superego is reasonably well developed

Answer 1

Answer:

d. superego is reasonably well developed

Explanation:

Superego is the moral aspect of the individual's personality, according to Sigmund Freud's Theory of Psychoanalysis. The superego is responsible for “taming” the Id, that is, repressing primitive instincts based on moral and cultural values. In this case, Sandra fells herself badly because of her attitude toward her mother's rules, but resentment occurs only after the action being executed, which means that the superego is under development. Later, when it is in full development, the superego would control the Id before anything happens.
