B. childhood sexual instincts.

Explanation:

Neo-Freudian personality theorists were most likely to disagree with Freud about the importance of childhood sexual instincts.

Most Neo-Freudian Thinkers such as the case of Erik Erikson considered that Freud was not accurate when he assured that the personality of an individual was shaped in a great extent by childhood events and sexual instincts. Some other neo-Freudian thinkers were also in disagreement with Freud in aspects such as the negative view of the human nature, the lack of emphasis on those social and cultural aspects that impact behavior and personality or Freud's argument of sexual urges as a primary engagement factor.
