What field of study focused on how the ego,s regulate conflicts between internal drives and external realities?

Structuralism
Psychoanalysis
Behaviorism
Humanism

The correct answer is: Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis is the field of study that focuses on how the ego regulates conflicts between internal drives and external realities. Structuralism, behaviorism, and humanism focus on other aspects of human behavior and cognition, such as the structure of the mind, observable behavior, and human potential, respectively. While these fields may touch on elements related to the ego, they do not specifically focus on the ego's role in managing these conflicts. Therefore, B is the most appropriate and specific response.
