D. conscious.
In the Freudian view, the human personality is made up of three components: I want,
ego and
great ego. According to Freud, the id operates in the pleasure principle. In other words, the id wants to feel good all the time and not feel bad no matter what or who it is; speaking freely, “if it’s good, do it”. The only concern for the id is that its needs are satisfactorily met. The ego operates in reality principle. The ego understands that the needs and desires of others must also be met and addressed. The role of the ego is to meet the needs of the id within the limits of practicality and the consideration of others. The superego operates in ideal principle. It is the moral part of us and stems from moral and ethical considerations placed upon us by our parents and society; loosely speaking is our
awareness. In a normal person, the ego is constantly working and negotiating to simultaneously satisfy the needs of the id and the superego within the limits of practicality. The ego and the superego have access to the conscious, the preconscious and the unconscious. The id is confined to the unconscious.
