Expert Solution
Step 1

An innate response that is taken by the unconscious mind in order to cope with a certain type of situation that causes distress or anxiety to an individual is known as a defense mechanism. In order to lessen the feeling of anxiety, the mind denies, manipulates, or distorts the reality of the actual situation.
