c. An athlete follows a "no pain, no gain" motto rather than stopping for rest and nourishment.

Explanation:

The hierarchy of needs was given by Abraham Maslow which is also referred as Maslow's hierarchy of needs and it includes five distinct stages through which an individual passes by in his or her life, and these stages of needs are, physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization.

Maslow's theory is considered as a motivational theory, and he believed that for an individual to reach the upper level of needs then he or she must satisfy lower-level needs.
