Question

which of the following behaviors is most clearly driven by the need for intimacy, rather than achievement or affiliation?

b marco spends extra hours at work preparing a presentation to earn a promotion.
c talla opens up to a close friend about a recent personal struggle, hoping to strengthen their emotional connection.
d jason joins a professional club to network and make career - related contacts.

Explanation:

Intimacy involves deep emotional connection. Talla sharing a personal struggle with a close friend to strengthen their emotional bond directly relates to the need for intimacy. Lena's behavior is about affiliation (being part of a group), Marco's is achievement - related (earning a promotion), and Jason's is about career - related networking (affiliation in a professional sense).

Answer:

C. Talla opens up to a close friend about a recent personal struggle, hoping to strengthen their emotional connection.
