Analyze the passage given and provide an appropriate answer for the question that follow.

     Enunciated by Jung as an integral part of his psychology is 1916 immediately after his unsetting confrontation with the unsettling confrontation with the unconscious, the transcendent function was seen by Jung as uniting the opposites., transforming psyche and central to the individuation process. It also undoubtedly reflects his personal experience in coming to terms with the unconscious. Jung portrayed the transcendent function as operating through symbol and fantasy and mediating between the opposites of consciousness and the unconscious to prompt the emergence of a new, third posture that transcends the two. In exploring the details of the transcendent function and its connection to other Jungian constructs, this work has unearthed significant charges, ambiguities and inconsistencies in Jung’s writings. Further, it has identified two separate images of the transcendent function.

     (1) the narrow transcendent function, the function or process within Jung’s pantheon of psychic structures, generally seen as the uniting of the opposites of consciousness and the unconscious from which a new attitude emerges; and

     (2) the expansive [transcendent function, the root metaphor for psyche or being (psychological that subsumes Jung’s pantheon and that apprehends the most fundamental psychic activity of interacting with the unknown or other. This book has also posited that the expansive transcendent function, the expansive transcendent function, as the rot metaphor for exchanges between conscious and the unconscious, is the wellspring form whence flows other key Jungian structures such as the archetypes and the Self and is the core of the individuation process. The expansive transcendent function has been explorer further by surveying other schools of psychology, with both depth and non-depth orientations and evaluating the transcendent function alongside structures or processes in those other schools which/play similar mediatory and/or transitional roles lar mediatory and/or transitional roles

It can be definitely inferred from the passage above that
(a)	the expansive transcendent function would include elements of both the Consciousness and the Unconscious.	(b)	archetypes emerge from the narrow transcendent function.
(c)	the whole work, from which this excerpt is taken, primarily concerns itself with the inconsistencies in Jung’s writings.	(d)	the transcendent is the core of the individuation process.
