A
stealing a loaf of bread
B
completing a difficult school assignment
C
protesting
D
taking the most classes and most difficult classes voluntarily
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The major problem with Maslow’s hierarchy-of-needs theory is that it cannot be tested empirically – there is no way to measure precisely how satisfied one level of need must be before the next higher need becomes operative.

Detailed explanation-2: -Self-actualization, the fifth and highest level in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, is also the most difficult to achieve. Maslow regards self-actualization as an ever-ongoing process.

Detailed explanation-3: -When all levels of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs are met, students show their full ability and eagerness for learning. The higher up in the hierarchy a student is, the better the motivation and therefore the student will experience more effective learning.
