Answer 1

The correct answer is superego.
According to Freud, our psyche consists of three parts: id, ego, and superego. Id refers to our basic human instincts; ego refers to reality, reason, and decision-making processes; finally, superego is our moral compass - it comprises our morals and values as a person. Given that Carolyn felt guilty about stealing, her superego was affecting her.
