Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Explanation:Repression is a pyschological defence mechanism that occurs when one pushes back all the painful thoughts and undesirable urges so that they are absent in their conscious mind. This helps the person become less anxious.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Freud (1901), forgetting is motivated rather than being the result of a failure to learn or other processes.
