What does Sigmund Freud believe can cause a child to develop neurosis?

Inappropriate parenting
Too much indulgence
Unresolved conflicts
Lack of parental guidance

The correct answer is: Unresolved conflicts

Sigmund Freud believed that unresolved conflicts during childhood could lead to the development of neurosis. This is based on his theory of psychoanalysis, which suggests that unconscious conflicts and repressed memories can affect a person's mental and emotional well-being. While inappropriate parenting and too much indulgence may have an impact on a child's development, they are not specifically mentioned by Freud as causes for the development of neurosis. Additionally, lack of parental guidance may play a role in a child's development, but it is not the primary focus of Freud's theory on neurosis. Therefore, option C is the most accurate and specific choice that aligns with Freud's beliefs.
