Answer:D. need for achievement

Explanation:

Crystal shows sign of being a high need achiever because she is willing to take on a challenge by taking the accounting even though she knows she is not good at numbers but she is will to challenge herself.

Kate is a low need achiever she is afraid

of difficult tasks and of failure which lead her to stay away from something that can result to her failing and she expect to fail so she can't take on something that will challenge her and expose her as a failure.
