The correct answer is :

Sublimation.

In psychology, sublimation is a kind of defense mechanism, in which socially unacceptable drives or thoughts are converted into socially acceptable behaviors. Sigmund Freud understood that sublimation was a sign of civilization, enabling people to perform normally in culturally acceptable ways.
