b. casual attitudes toward sex

d. cultural bias

Answer 1

c. repressed sexual desires

Step-by-step explanation:

A person that has been afflicted by neurosis leads to them behaving in a neurotic manner. It is a class of mental disorder which leads to the development of chronic distress but does not lead to delusions or hallucinations.

According to Freud a persons psychological-sexual development happens as follows:

Latency stage.

Freud believed that repressing these stages of development leads to neurosis.
