(D) trying to achieve their full potential

Explanation
Self-actualization is typically defined as achieving one’s full potential; very few people ever truly self-actualize. Rather than accepting oneself as is, self-actualization is a drive to grow and improve. It is self-focused, not other focused, and does not necessarily involve the identification of core principles or bringing one’s actions into line with one’s desires.
