Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer to describe the place in which Freud indicates threatening wishes and desires are placed is the choice d: unconsciousness.
Detailed explanation-2: -Freud believed that many of our feelings, desires, and emotions are repressed or held out of awareness because they are simply too threatening. Freud believed that sometimes these hidden desires and wishes make themselves known through dreams and slips of the tongue (aka “Freudian slips").
Detailed explanation-3: -The parts of the brain that perform the functions that Freud called the “id” are located mainly in the ERTAS and limbic system, whereas the parts that perform the functions he attributed to “the repressed” (or the “system unconscious”) are located mainly in the basal ganglia and cerebellum.
Detailed explanation-4: -Freud gave consciousness the quality and capacity to transform experienced activity into unconscious states, similar to how different forms of energy are interchanged in physics. It could also play a part in inhibiting and restricting certain thoughts from becoming conscious.
Detailed explanation-5: -Freud was interested in a dynamic unconscious, made up of ideas that have been forced out of consciousness by a process of repression. This is very different to ideas that are outside of consciousness but can become conscious quite easily – what Freud called the preconscious.
