Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
All of the answers are correct. The hierarchy of needs theory suggests that the higher the need in the hierarchy, the weaker it is. Self-actualization is at the top of the hierarchy, making it susceptible to being unfulfilled. Additionally, individuals need sufficient love in their childhood to develop a sense of self-esteem and confidence to pursue self-actualization. Lastly, fears and doubts about one's abilities can lead to the Jonah complex, where individuals may be afraid of or resist achieving their full potential.
