Reaction to consciousness in the form of an idea or desire that is diametrically opposed to the unconscious impulse.Freud called this a "reaction" or "believing the opposite" in a defense mechanism where a person behaves the opposite as anxious.
<h3>What are the theories of defense mechanisms given by Freud?</h3>
According to Freud's theory of personality, the mind has 3 forces: id (unconscious), superego (partial towards moral and social values), and ego (moderates id and superego and is partly conscious).
When the situation arises where the needs of the id clash with the needs of the superego, the outcome results in anxiety.
The ego deploys self-deception strategies to avoid discomfort and lessen the tension. The unacceptable thought or emotion may be denied, rationalized, or pushed on someone else.
So, here, option A is correct as anxiety or anxious feelings are the outcome of the clash of two forces.
