Answer to Question 1

According to Freud, a child confronts a conflict at each of the first three psychosexual stages. If conflict is not well resolved, an excessive amount of libido becomes permanently fixed in that stage, a process called fixation. Less energy is then available for conflicts at later stages. This occurs for two reasons: (1) A person who is overly indulged in a stage may be reluctant to leave and move on; and (2) a person whose needs are deeply frustrated cannot move on completely until needs are met.

Answer to Question 2

D
