The conflict between the id, ego, and superego can produce anxiety for the ego that leads to the use of defense mechanisms. If Crystal agonizes over her decision for several hours and then accuses her partner of secretly trying to end their relationship, this would be an example of

The correct answer is Projection.

Explanation:

Projection is a concept of psychoanalysis described by Sigmund Freud, and is one of the defense mechanisms explained by psychodinamic theory.

Projection can be understood as the unconscious denial of certain impulses and desires while attributing the same impulses and desires to another person.

For instance, John despises Lisa due to her histrionic behavior but he fails to acknowledge it. In turn, he convinces himself that Lisa hates him.

In this particular case, If Crystal agonizes over her decision for several hours and then accuses her partner of secretly trying to end their relationship, this would be an example of Projection, because Crystal attributes the desire to end the relationship to her partner.

marginal cost is a microeconomic measure that us to evaluate the extent to which the level of production of a good is sustainable in accounting, that is, to how many quantities the company plans to profit from the production of the good.

the concept of marginal cost is simple, it means the cost of producing one more item. for example, in the case of pies, the marginal cost is the cost of producing one more pie than those that have already been produced.

it is important to understand that productive activity influences marginal cost. the marginal cost of some goods can be very high, while others may be insignificant. for example, the marginal cost of producing an extra plane is very high. already the marginal cost of a water company to provide 1l more water is derisory.

in the case of pies, the cost involves the inputs, the labor and the fixed cost, which involves the fixed space of the bakery. the level of production initially has the marginal cost decreasing because there is space and manpower available. however, to produce more you have to hire more workers and buy more inputs. if physical space is limited, workers will conflict with places, inputs and their productivity will decrease, meaning there is an optimum point of production for each level of space and manpower. from this point on, the productivity of the workers will be getting smaller because of lack of space, so that the marginal cost of producing one more pie will be increasing. so, although you have not posted the chart, but if you have the answer, you can see that my explanation goes according to the marginal cost curve that will increase from the 4th pie, answer (c).
