Answer:

C. Alter Ego

Step-by-step explanation:

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), also known as Multiple Personality disorder is basically a mental disorder. The person suffering from DID tends to show at least two different types of personality states. Psychiatrist Paulette Gillig coined the term Ego state referring to the normal personality state of a person and "Alter Ego" state referring to the other personality state of the person. Multiple personalities occur alternatively. During one personality state the person has no memory of the other personality state.
