Question

Doris Ajagbe · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Holland's theory of career choice revolves around the idea that people and work environments can be loosely classified into six types, often represented by a hexagon. These types are Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC), and the theory suggests that people are more satisfied and stable in their careers when their personality types match their work environments. The hexagon is a key visual representation used in Holland's theory, making it the likely grounding theoretical perspective for Dori's work.
