Letter D is correct. Need for achievement.

Explanation:

The need for achievement is related to an individual who needs achievement, achievement of high working standards, control and mastery of skills and competencies. Workers with this need are motivated to work hard to achieve complex goals that ultimately increase their sense of satisfaction and achievement.

Generally those who develop this need are influenced by pressure and external expectations and characterize a competitive individual profile that due to motivation and determination has the ability to excel in relevant activities.
