Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Eric Berne's concept to describe people's overall sense of their own worth and that of others is called "life position." Berne argued that individuals develop one of four life position attitudes: "I'm OK, you're OK," "I'm OK, you're not OK," "I'm not OK, you're OK," or "I'm not OK, you're not OK." These attitudes determine how individuals perceive and interact with others in their interpersonal relationships.
