Answer:

b. id; ego

Step-by-step explanation:

Id, ego, and superego are the three classifications of the stages of development. Freud described the personality theory based on this classification. Id refers to the initial development of the mind which is based on the pleasure principle. Ego is the realistic approach of the mind which occurs after id. Super-ego involves moral consciousness.
