Answer 1

Answer: A.That it is channeled into self-development

Explanation:

During the latency stage, libido is in the “do not disturb mode.” According to Freud, it is a period when sexual energy is being channeled to activities like hobbies, learning, and building social relationships.

He felt that at this stage, people develop healthy communication and social skills and the failure to move through this stage can lead to lifelong immaturity, or inability to have and maintain a healthy, happy, and fulfilling sexual and non sexual relationships when one becomes an adult.
