Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
According to Freud's theory, if a child is overindulged or frustrated in any of the psychosexual stages of development, they may become fixated at that stage, meaning their pleasure-seeking energies become focused on the activities associated with that stage, and may have difficulty moving on to the next stage. This can result in various psychological problems and personality traits in adulthood.
