Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Freud saw the anal stage (usually occurring between ages 1-3) as the stage where society's first systematic effort to regulate the child's impulses occurred, as it involves the child learning to control their bodily functions and abide by societal expectations related to cleanliness and toilet training.
