D. None of the above

Correct Answer is :

C. “Forgetting is a tendency toward off from memory that which is unpleasant.”

Explanation

According to Freud, “Forgetting is a tendency toward off from memory that which is unpleasant.” Freud believes there are times when an event or an action is so painful that we cannot deal with the memory of it, so we repress the memory completely. By pushing the memory into the subconscious and actively repressing it, we are unable to recall the memory.
