Answer:

Superego.

Explanation:

Sigmund Freud explains that the human psyche is not composed of a single component. His psychoanalytical theory has three elements which develop at different stages and work together to determine a human personality. These systems are termed as id, ego, and superego. Only id is inborn in humans which refers to the primitive behavior and ego is the rational approach which mediates between the id and superego.

Superego determine the sense of right and wrong in an individual.according to Freud it starts to develop around the age five and it enforces the ideals of ethics and moral principle acceptable in society. It controls the id's impulses which are not acceptable in a society.
