Final answer:

Freud's three levels of awareness (consciousness) are conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Sigmund Freud proposed three levels of awareness, or consciousness: the conscious, the preconscious, and the unconscious. The conscious mind contains thoughts and feelings that we are currently aware of.

The preconscious mind holds memories and information that can easily be brought into consciousness. The unconscious mind, according to Freud, contains repressed memories, desires, and instincts that influence our behavior without our awareness.
