Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
According to Maslow, mentally healthy people who achieve self-actualization are able to form close relationships with others, make decisions pertaining to reality rather than fantasy, be independent or autonomous in thought and action, and use a variety of approaches as they perform tasks and solve problems.

Suppression is the voluntary rejection of unacceptable thoughts or feelings from conscious awareness. Denial is unconscious refusal to face thoughts, feelings, wishes, needs, or reality factors that are intolerable. Regression is the retreat to past developmental states to meet basic needs.
