Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Helping out the poor is a form of self-actualization, which is the highest level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. This level is associated with achieving one's full potential, pursuing personal growth and fulfillment, and engaging in activities that are meaningful and fulfilling. Russell derives satisfaction from helping others, and this suggests that he is fulfilling his self-actualization needs. The other options (B, C, D, E) are associated with lower levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs and do not fit Russell's situation as well.
