How many systems does Freud’s structural model of the mind contain?

Two
Three
Four
Five

The correct answer is: Three

Freud's structural model of the mind contains three systems the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is responsible for instinctive and primitive drives, the ego is responsible for mediating between the id and the external world, and the superego is responsible for moral and ethical principles. This model does not include five systems, as options A, C, and D suggest. Additionally, while option A is partially correct in that it includes two of the three systems, it does not account for the third system, making it an incomplete and incorrect answer. Option D is also incorrect as it suggests a higher number of systems than the model includes. Therefore, the correct answer is B, as it accurately reflects the three systems included in Freud's model.
