According to psychoanalytic theory, how does the superego operate in the structure of mind?

▸ The superego provides the ego with a "list" of better or worse behaviors to choose from.

▸ The superego grapples directly with the id to control the id's desires.

▸ The superego forces the ego to consider socially acceptable forms of behavior.

▸ The superego is largely absent in the structure of the mind, not developing until a person's 40s.
