Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Freud believed that dreams have both manifest content (the actual events or images that occur in the dream) and latent content (the hidden, symbolic meaning behind these events). The interpretation of Teresa's dream about eating ladybugs as reflecting a desire to start her own business would be an example of interpreting the latent content of the dream.
