Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
According to Henry Murray's Theory of Needs, the 'Need for Achievement' (nAch) is a vital intrinsic motivation that drives individuals to attain excellence, successfully complete difficult tasks, and perform outstandingly in competition.
- Students with a high level of nAch do not choose very simple tasks (as they lack the thrill of success) nor impossibly difficult tasks (due to high risk of failure).
- Instead, they select moderately challenging goals where their skills and efforts are genuinely tested.
- In classroom teaching, this tendency inspires students to take high responsibility, learn positively from past mistakes, and develop academic persistence.
Therefore, Option (b) is the most authentic and scientifically valid statement.
