Explanation:

Freud's theory of psychosexual development states that fixation is an arrest in development during a psychosexual stage, which can manifest in adult personality. Regression is a defense mechanism involving reverting to an earlier stage. Ego development is about the ego's growth, and superego is the moral component of personality. So the correct term for developmental arrest affecting adult personality is fixation.

B. Fixation
