According to Freud's personality structure, the id is the primitive and instinctual part of the psyche, which operates according to the pleasure principle and seeks immediate satisfaction of desires and needs. The behavior of snatching a toy from another child is impulsive and lacks consideration for others, which is characteristic of the id. The other options involve behaviors that are more likely to be influenced by the ego or superego, which regulate and control the id's impulses.
