ANS: A
The id operates on the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification of impulses. The ego acts as a mediator of behavior and weighs the consequences of the action, perhaps determining that taking the toy is not worth the parent's wrath. The superego would oppose the impulsive behavior as not nice. The preconscious is a level of awareness.
