During his Clark University lecture, Freud proposed that psychic traumas are affect-laden, meaning that they are experiences that are emotionally charged and have a profound impact on the individual's psyche. While Freud did discuss the idea of the primal scene and seduction in early childhood, he did not propose that these were the only causes of psychic trauma. "The royal road to the unconscious" refers to the idea that dreams provide symbolic access to unconscious thoughts and feelings, but does not specifically relate to psychic trauma. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
