A. people can view personal and interpersonal events in achievement terms.

Explanation:

Traditional psychological definition of achievement views achievement as an internally motivated goal by an individual to reach a set goal. This internal motivation is usually one of personal nature rather than external pressure, like Maslow's hierarchy of needs or Henry Murray's N-Ach which was subsequently popularised by the psychologist David McClelland.
