A) Belongingness needs
B) Physiological needs
C) Self-actualization needs
D) Safety needs

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Belongingness needs

Explanation:

I believe Shawn wanting to start a charity is based on belongingness, we can't say at that stage he is looking for fame, respect, reputation or more wealth. Let's not abrogate the fact that he is the founder of a company. And looking at the term belongingness needs we can say it is an act of receiving and giving affection and love. And him starting a charity for the underprivileged can be seen as giving affection to them
