The correct answer is - <em>B) self-actualization.</em>
Explanation:
Within Abraham Maslow’s (1908 – 1970) theory of Hierarchy of Needs, <u>Connor is on the way to self-actualization, because</u>:
He is doing very well in his activities (<em>on top of his class</em>) an have found the field that he is good at <em>(has been accepted to his choice of colleges</em>). It puts Connor on the initial stage of realizing his full potential.
He is content with his life choices and area of activities, which allows him to be supportive of others <em>(is the go to person when his friends have problems</em>). Conversely, if he was struggling and dissatisfied, he would not be able to help others.
Connor is <em>making plans for the future</em>, which is necessary to achieve the self-actualization bye realizing his full potential. For example, become successful surgeon.
