Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
ERG (Existence, Relatedness, Growth) Theory, proposed by Clayton Alderfer, arranges employee needs in a hierarchy of importance just like Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory. ERG Theory combines Maslow's five needs into three categories - Existence needs, Relatedness needs, and Growth needs.
