Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Maslow referred to the desire for identity, meaning, and purpose beyond the self as "self-transcendence." This refers to a motivation to connect with something greater than oneself, such as spirituality or a sense of unity with the universe. Choice A (acceptance) and D (unconditional positive regard) are more related to interpersonal relationships, while choice B (the reality principle) does not specifically address this particular motive.
