Sixteen year old Evan is referred to as a perfectionist by his friends and family. Neither his parents nor his teachers put pressure on him because they all know Evan seems to be the most critical of himself. According to Freud, Evan likely
a) Has yet to resolve the Oedipus complex
b) Has a strong superego
c) Has a fixation that occurred during the oral stage
d) Has a Strong Id
e) Has an issue that developed during the genital stage.
I believe the answer is either b or d but not very positive at all.
