Answer:

C. Super ego

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ego, Superego, and Id are instances that form the human psyche. This according to the Personality Theory, developed by Sigmund Freud in his studies on psychoanalysis.

According to Freud, the Superego develops from the ego and consists in the representation of the moral and cultural ideals and values of the individual. The Superego acts as a "counselor" to the Ego. This is because it alerts you to what is or is not morally accepted according to the principles that have been absorbed by the person throughout his or her life. In that case, the superego makes you wonder if what you intend to do will be accepted by society and how your actions will reflect people's thinking about you.
