D

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Suppression is consciously inhibiting an impulse or emotion that is unacceptable to the person. Sublimation is diverting unacceptable urges into personally and socially acceptable channels. Intellectualization is unconsciously transferring emotions into the realm of intellectusing reasoning as a means of avoiding confrontation with an objectionable impulse. Displacement is unconsciously transferring feelings onto another person or object.
