D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The superego develops during the first five years of life in response to parental punishment and approval. This development occurs as a result of the child’s internalization of his parents’ moral standards, a process greatly aided by a tendency to identify with the parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -The superego is the final part of the personality, emerging between the ages of 3 and 5, the phallic stage in Freud’s stages of psychosexual development. The superego is the moral compass of the personality, upholding a sense of right and wrong.

Detailed explanation-3: -The superego incorporates the values and morals of society which are learned from one’s parents and others. It develops around the age of 3 – 5 years during the phallic stage of psychosexual development.

Detailed explanation-4: -Freud’s work led him to conclude that the superego does not begin to develop until the age of 5 or 6, and probably is not firmly established until several years later.

Detailed explanation-5: -The superego develops primarily from parental instructions and rules, and encourages the individual to rise above his or her base instincts and drives. It works in direct counterbalance to the id. Freud believed that the superego is formed during the Oedipus complex after a boy learns to identify with his father.
