Although Garth wants to have sex with his girlfriend,he also wants to avoid premarital sex.Freud would have suggested that both desires might be partially satisfied by Garth's

A) ego.
B) id.
C) superego.
D) Oedipus complex.

According to Freud's theory, the ego operates on the reality principle, which means it tries to balance the conflicting demands of the id and the superego while satisfying the individual's needs in a socially acceptable way. In this case, Garth's desire to have sex with his girlfriend is a manifestation of his id, which seeks immediate pleasure, while his desire to avoid premarital sex is a manifestation of his superego, which is influenced by social norms and values. The ego's role is to find a compromise that satisfies both the id and the superego while conforming to societal expectations. Therefore, it is likely that Garth's desire to have sex with his girlfriend can be partially satisfied by the ego finding a way to balance both desires.
