Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-determination theory proposes that people have three basic psychological needs that must be fulfilled in order to grow and function effectively. These needs are autonomy (the need to be in control of one's own life), competence (the need for mastery and achievement), and relatedness (the need to feel connected to others and belong). Therefore, the correct answer is A, as it includes all three basic psychological needs proposed by self-determination theory.
