Answer 1

The correct answer is the ID personality.

The ID personality refers to the disordered piece of the identity structure that contains a human's essential, instinctual drives. Id is the main segment of identity that is available from birth. It is the wellspring of our real needs, needs, wants, and motivations, especially our sexual and forceful drives. The id contains the drive, which is the essential wellspring of instinctual constrain that is lethargic to the requests of reality.
