Who developed the psychoanalytic theory of development?

  1. John Locke

  2. Jean Piaget

  3. Erik Erikson

  4. Sigmund Freud

The correct answer is: Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud developed the psychoanalytic theory of development, which focuses on the influence of unconscious factors on personality development. While John Locke and Jean Piaget were influential in the field of developmental psychology, they did not specifically develop the psychoanalytic theory. Erik Erikson also made important contributions to developmental psychology, but his theory focuses on psychosocial stages rather than psychoanalytic principles. So, D is the most accurate answer in this case.
