Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Schwartz and Sagiv (1995) proposed that the two basic dimensions organizing universal values are openness to change versus conservatism and self-transcendence versus self-enhancement. These dimensions capture the conflicts between values that emphasize independent thought, action, and feelings and readiness for change (openness to change) versus those that emphasize order, self-restriction, preservation of the past, and resistance to change (conservatism), as well as the conflict between values that focus on the welfare and interests of others (self-transcendence) versus those that focus on the pursuit of one’s own success and dominance over others (self-enhancement).
