[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The term that best fits the description provided is "fixation." Fixation, according to Sigmund Freud, is a defense mechanism where an individual becomes "stuck" or arrested at a particular stage of psychosexual development. This fixation occurs when conflicts or unresolved issues are not successfully resolved during a particular stage. As a result, the individual may experience anxiety and exhibit behaviors related to that specific stage throughout their life.
