Correct answer: C
Instrumental values are the preferred modes of behavior or means of achieving the terminal values (the end goals). Autonomy and self-reliance are modes of behavior that individuals value to achieve their desired end goals, such as prosperity, economic success, well-being, and world peace. These behaviors guide how individuals conduct themselves to attain their objectives. In contrast, prosperity, economic success, well-being, and world peace are terminal values, representing the end states or goals individuals strive to achieve. Reference: Robbins, S.P. & Judge, T.A.

Correct answer: A
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology that categorizes human needs into five levels, with social needs being one of them. These needs include affection, acceptance, friendship, and a sense of belonging. According to Maslow, fulfilling these social needs is essential for individuals to move on to higher levels of the hierarchy, such as esteem and self-actualization. Reference: Maslow, A.H. (1943). "A Theory of Human Motivation." Psychological Review, 50(4), 370- 396. This seminal paper introduces the hierarchy of needs, explaining each level and its significance in human motivation.
