Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Carl Jung believed in the concept of a collective unconscious, which he described as a storehouse of latent memory traces inherited from people's ancestral past. The collective unconscious is a deeper level of unconsciousness that contains archetypes and symbols common to all human beings, regardless of cultural or historical background. While the other options (A, C, D) refer to different types of unconsciousness, none of them specifically relate to the concept of inherited ancestral memory.
