    The correct answer is displacement.

    Displacement refers to a defense mechanism that involves transferring or taking out impulses, feelings or frustrations on people, animals or objects since they are safer targets than the source of the feelings or frustration themselves. In Marva's instance, by screaming at her children after returning from work, she is displacing the frustration she feels at work onto her children.
