Option B is correct
What is ego defense?
- Habits and behaviors used as ego defense mechanisms exist to safeguard a person's sense of self.
- They are unconsciously operating psychological processes that are employed to lessen the anxiety brought on by undesirable or potentially damaging stimuli, thoughts, or desires.
- These mechanisms are typical and, depending on the situation and/or frequency of use, may have either helpful or detrimental effects.
- Repression (denying an incident), identification (incorporating something into one's own worldview), and rationalization are some of the most prevalent of these (making excuses for behavior).
According to psychoanalytic theory, a defense mechanism is an unconscious psychological process that guards against anxiety-inducing ideas and emotions linked to inner conflicts and environmental stressors.
