Verified step by step guidance

Understand the components of the personality according to Freud's psychoanalytic theory: the Id, Ego, and Superego.

The Id is the most primitive part of the personality, operating on the pleasure principle and is entirely unconscious.

The Superego incorporates the values and morals of society, learned from parents and others, and operates both consciously and unconsciously.

The Ego operates on the reality principle, mediating between the desires of the Id and the Superego, and functions in both conscious and unconscious realms.

Conclude that all three components (Id, Superego, and Ego) have at least some unconscious elements, making the correct answer I, II, & III.
