Terry Osborn · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter E

The need to belong was defined by the American psychologist Abraham Maslow. He believed that people are social beings who need to belong to a group, love others and be loved.

He further stated that if people cannot meet this need to belong, their need for automatic estimation would not be able to be satisfied. In other words, without being accepted as part of the group or by others, an automatic estimate will not be created.
