Which of the following is true about ERG theory? b. An individual can satisfy growth needs, even if they have not satisfied relatedness needs.

Explanation:

To understand why b. option is correct we have to analyze all the options.

a. is wrong because ERG theory considers that human beings have to create relationships with others and that they satisfy the so-called relatedness needs.

c. It is wrong because the ERG theory is not a rigid hierarchy in which the individual has to satisfy some needs first to unlock the capability to satisfy superior or more complex needs later. Also, it says that someone can look to satisfy different levels of needs.

So, b. Is correct.
